When properly looked after, linen will keep looking beautiful and performing brilliantly for years. Here’s what you need to know about caring for your linen product:
Washing
- Machine wash up to 40 C ~ higher temperatures can damage the fabric’s fibres, causing wear and shrinkage
- Wash linen items separately from other fabrics
- Separate white, dark and coloured linens
- Use the gentle cycle and don’t overload your machine – ensuring garments have sufficient space means they can rinse and dry properly
- Never use bleach
Drying and Storing
- Tumble dry on a low heat or gentle setting
- If ironing, steam rather than simply hot pressing
- Make sure linen items are completely dry before putting away
- Store somewhere dry (preferably in linen bags)
