Caring for your linen

Linen is one of the strongest and most durable natural fibres, known for its unique antibacterial properties and resistance to everyday wear. With the right care, your favourite linen pieces can last for many years. 

Washing:

• Machine wash at 40°C / 100°F to avoid shrinkage.
• For delicate or thin linen fabrics, hand washing is recommended.
• Use mild liquid detergents and avoid harsh powders.
• Only use oxygen-based bleach on white linen – never chlorine bleach.

Drying:

• Hang dry whenever possible. Air drying is best to preserve the natural fibres.
• If using a dryer, choose a low heat setting and remove the linen while still slightly damp to prevent stiffness.

Ironing:

• Linen can be ironed for a crisp finish.
• For a more relaxed and lived-in look, embrace the fabric’s natural creases – they’re part of its charm.

With a little care, your linen will soften with time and become even more beautiful with every wear.
