Linen is the fabric of the summer - and with good reason. Sourced from fibres of the flax plant, linen is lightweight, durable, and breathable, only softening over time the more it is washed. To keep your linen looking its best, discover our top care tips below.
Always check the care instructions label before cleaning. However, if
washable, you have two options for laundering your linen at home: by
hand or by machine. Wash separately in lukewarm or cold water and if
possible, use mild soap or a non-biological detergent to maintain its
colour. Avoid bleach as the harsh chemicals damage and degrade the
fibres of the cloth. When done correctly, every wash will enhance the
softness, natural beauty and lustrous quality of your linen.
After washing, remove your linen as quickly as possible from the basin or
washing machine to avoid wrinkles. Linen benefits from drying naturally so
reshape whilst damp and lay your linens flat as they dry.
For the best crease-free results, run your iron across the front and reverse
whilst the linen is still a little bit damp to avoid burning the fabric. If you still
spot any creases, lay a damp, light-coloured cotton T-shirt over your linen
before running a warm iron on steam setting across it.
When stowing away clean and dry linen at the end of the summer, store
in a cool, dry place. Avoid wrapping it in plastic. Slatted wooden shelves
will allow the air to circulate and keep your linen fresh. Try to store your
favourite linen pieces as flat as possible to avoid wrinkling and creasing.
