Linen

• Linen gets better and softer after each use
• Since linen is a natural fabric, it has a unique texture and the woven surface is uneven
• Items produced from linen are biodegradable
• Due to its good thermal conductivity, linen warms during a cold night and cools the body on a hot day
• Linen is an antibacterial material so it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin
• Linen makes the best microclimate for the skin - it’s breathable and can absorb 20% of its weight and still be dry
• The fabric has small slippery hairs on its surface which prevent dirt
• The creases in linen products are a sign of authenticity and quality
• In order to enjoy the longevity and quality of our linen products, it is necessary to know the main details and tricks how to take care of your linen items.

 

WASHING

• Follow the washing instructions on the wash care label
• Wash inside out
• Don’t wash at a higher temperature than instructed - it’s better for the environment and also for the garment
• Linen is easy to clean, so even a lower washing temperature works
• Only wash if necessary - spot clean and air your clothes
• Do not overload the washing machine since linen absorbs a lot of water
• If the water which is used for washing is hard, add a bit of fabric softener - otherwise using softener isn't recommended
• Linen hates slinging - light sling works best

 

DRYING

• Do not tumble dry - it weakens the fiber and causes shrinking and pilling
• The garment may feel a little stiff after washing which is characteristic of linen - the fabric softens after ironing and also softens in use
• Linen might shrink a bit when washing - shake, shape and lightly stretch the garment when wet
• Lay flat to dry

 

IRONING

• The best way to iron linen products is when they are still a bit damp
• Iron the garments inside out at medium heat
• To keep your linen clothes in as good condition as possible, store them on a hanger
