To keep your linen pieces looking beautiful and feeling fresh, follow these care instructions:
-
Washing
-
Machine Wash: Use cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle to prevent fabric shrinkage and maintain the texture.
-
Hand Wash: For extra care, wash gently by hand in cold water.
-
Detergent: Use mild, non-bleach detergent to preserve linen’s natural fibers and colors.
2. Drying
-
Air Dry: Best dried by laying flat or hanging; avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
-
Avoid Tumble Drying: If using a dryer, select a low heat setting, as high heat can cause shrinkage.
3. Ironing
-
Iron Damp: Linen may wrinkle naturally, adding to its charm. For a smoother look, iron on the reverse side while still slightly damp or with a steam iron on a medium setting.
4. Storage
-
Fold, Don’t Hang: Linen can stretch out on hangers. Fold pieces and store in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and quality.
-
Avoid Plastic Bags: Store in breathable garment bags or a drawer to let the fabric breathe.
By following these steps, your linen garments will stay comfortable and stylish season after season!
