LINEN CARE: Contrary to popular belief, linen is relatively easy to care for. But, like any textile product, it's best to follow the fabric-specific instructions to extend its lifespan. This guide will help you take care of your linen items and keep them longer.

MACHINE WASH: Make sure to unfold items before putting them in the washer. Avoid overloading the washer; linen needs space to move! Prefer a delicate cycle wash with cold or lukewarm water. Use a mild detergent to preserve the linen fibers. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can alter the texture of the linen. A simple tablespoon of vinegar in the rinse cycle is a natural softener that can be used safely!

HAND WASH: Fill the sink or a container with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild soap. Submerge the linen pieces and let them soak for about ten minutes. Gently move the pieces in the water, without rubbing. Remove the soapy water and rinse until there is no soap residue left. Do not wring the linen; remove excess water by gently pressing, then spread on a dry towel. Roll the towel with the linen on it, press the roll so that the towel absorbs the excess water.

DRYING LINEN: Prioritize air drying, outdoors or indoors. Pleat the edges and hems with your fingers before hanging to dry. If machine drying, remove the linen while it is still slightly damp. Do not use fabric softeners in the machine; these products attach to the linen fiber and alter its properties.

IRONING LINEN (OPTIONAL!): Iron your linen while still damp for optimal results. Set the iron to high temperature with steam. Ironing dry linen at a high temperature risks damaging it. Do not use fabric softeners in the machine.

STORING LINEN: Make sure your linen is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Store in a well-ventilated, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid placing in plastic bags or bins; use pillowcases or linen bags to store your linen.

STAIN REMOVAL: Treat stains as quickly as possible! Heat sets stains. Do not use hot water or the dryer until the stain is gone, unless otherwise indicated. Rubbing the fabric can damage the fibers. Blot or rub gently when necessary.
