garment care
linen is durable and long lasting but to get the most out of your purchase we suggest getting to know more about your product, its properties and how to care for it properly
| machine wash on a gentle cycle cold/warm or hand wash |
| wash linen with similar colours or separately |
| allow linen to air dry naturally once washed |
| tumble dry on low until damp (then line dry) but recommend natural line drying |
| choose a gentle detergent or for delicate fabrics and eco-friendly products |
| if ironing, use medium heat |
| do not dry clean |
| when washing do not overload. linen is highly absorbent so the more access to water the better |
| avoid all bleaching products or detergents that promote colour brightness |
| do not over dry as this can damage the fibres |
| do not wash with abrasive materials |
| do not store linen in plastic packaging/bags |

if you have a minor spot, try soaking it in a water-detergent solution or washing it with club soda. if that doesn’t help, you can put some dish soap and gently massage it until the dirt comes out, then wash it as you usually would. some stains are trickier and might come off by sprinkling baking soda and a few drops of vinegar on the fabric, then blotting it with a paper towel to soak up the moisture.

how should i store my linens?
make sure your linens are completely dry to avoid mildew. natural fibers like linen need to breathe, so it’s best to store them in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas and away from direct sunlight. avoid storing linen is plastic bags — choose linen bags or reuse old pillowcases for that. when it comes to bed linens, we recommend using three sets in rotation: one on the bed, one in the closet, and one in the wash. this will allow each set to rest from wash to wash and prolong the lifespan of your linens.
