Care guide
MACHINE WASH
Look at our care label . You can wash our linen at 30, 40 and 60 degrees, depending on the piece. Make sure everything you wash with your linen is similar in colors. If your washing machine allows you to select the water level, choose the highest since linen is a super absorbent fabric and also avoid overloading the drum.
HAND WASH
If you choose to hand wash linen, do so with a gentle motion but never twist it. When using detergent, choose one that is neutral or mild and does not contain bleaching agents such as chlorine or peroxide. Do not pour the detergent directly on the textiles, rather, add it to the water first and make sure that the detergent is completely rinsed from the garment before drying it.
DO NOT TWIST THE LINEN
Do not twist the linen to drain the water. Linen dries very quickly but if you twist it, it will lose its fluffiness.
USE OF BLEACH
Detergents that contain bleaching agents are perfect for white clothes, but should not be used to wash colored clothes, as the clothes could become discolored or stained. Chlorine can weaken the fibers and cause them to turn yellow. If white fabrics need discoloration, use an oxygen-based bleach.
HOW TO DRY LINEN - IN A DRYER OR ON A SHELF
If the color of your linen is white, dry the garment in the shade to help preserve the original white. If you have bought natural linen, you should know that it is not solid or light or washed. We recommend drying on a clothesline; lying in the shade, as it is a very absorbent fabric, it will dry super fast and you will have it as if it were ironed.
HOW TO IRON THE LINEN
If you buy one of our products, you don't need to iron it. The less you iron it, the more beautiful the natural wrinkle of the linen will look.
If, on the other hand, you want to iron it, do it when the garment is still a little damp. Look on your iron for the name: LINEN (almost all have an indicator) to iron it properly.
DRY CLEANING
Linen supports dry cleaning with perchlorethylene but we recommend that you use a less polluting system. Perchlorethylene, which is commonly used in dry cleaners, is highly polluting. In case you need a dry cleaning for any reason, you can substitute perchlorethylene for wet cleaning. Here we leave you an interesting article:
