WASHING:

*Regular washing is actually good for pure linen, softening and beautifying it, and giving it a lovely ‘lived-in’ look. With relaxed linens like these you don’t need to store them away ‘for best’, you can enjoy them every day. Linen fabric gets resists dirt more easily than other textiles, and if rinsed thoroughly it comes up just as new every time.
* We normally recommend using a 60°C setting, as higher temperatures tend to wear linen out faster.
* Before washing always separate dark, coloured linens from white or off-white linens.
* You can use stain remover on stains before laundering, but avoid using bleach since it weakens the fibres and may affect the colour of dyed linens. It’s worth noting that bleaching particles in conventional washing powder make natural linen colours fade.
* Linen garments, table linens and bedlinens normally do not need pre-washing (or soaking). However, if you are washing a linen item for the first time, it can be soaked briefly in lukewarm water before the wash to avoid creasing.
* Wash linen articles separately from other materials, especially during the first wash, as natural fibres tend to lose lint (or ‘nap’), which you don’t want to end up on your other items.
