Linen Care Guide

Caring for your linen items is simple and straightforward. High-quality linen is sturdy and durable, so you won’t have to spend hours tending to it. However, to ensure your linens last for years, follow these care guidelines.

Washing Linen

When washing linen, always sort your items by color and use a medium temperature setting. Avoid hot water, as it can cause shrinkage. Opt for a mild detergent—steer clear of harsh brands like Tide—and always dilute it before applying. Never pour detergent directly onto dry fabric. If you encounter stains, skip the bleach; instead, try enzyme-based cleaners like Dirty Labs or Ecos. A Biz soak is acceptable if it's well dissolved and applied to wet fabric.

For hand washing, fill a sink with lukewarm water, add mild detergent, gently agitate, and rinse thoroughly.

Drying Linen

When drying, use a low temperature in the dryer, and always dry linens separately to prevent over-drying. However, the best method is to hang your linens to dry, as linen dries quickly—usually within 10-15 minutes. This method preserves the fabric’s natural qualities and texture.

Additional Care Tips

Linen naturally softens with each wash, so there’s no need for fabric softeners, which can reduce absorbency. Embrace the natural wrinkles of linen, but if you prefer a pressed look, use a medium-hot iron on damp fabric or place a damp towel over the item while ironing.

When storing your linens, make sure they’re completely dry to prevent mildew. Store them in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from direct sunlight. 

By following these care tips, your linen will remain beautiful and last for years to come! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Happy laundering!
