Machine Washing

• Linen should be washed at 40°C / 100 °F. If some heavy-duty stains appear, you can increase the temperature up to 60 °C / 140 °F. However, high temperatures shouldn’t be used too often as fabric tends to shrink.
• Linen should be washed separately from other fabrics and colors.
• If your washing machine allows you to select the water level, choose the highest one offered because linen is highly absorbent.

Drying

• Linen can be dried in a tumble dryer on a low temperature, hung, or left to dry flat on a white towel.
• If using a tumble dryer, take the linen out when it’s still damp and complete drying by hanging it or laying flat.
• If possible, allow white linen pieces to dry out in the sun. It will help to maintain the fresh whiteness.
• Drying white linen in the sun helps retain the original white color.
• Overdrying is the most harmful process for fabrics as it weakens the fibers causing shrinkage and pilling.
• Over-dried items restore their natural moisture content after re-absorbing moisture from the air.

Ironing

• Iron linen while it’s still slightly damp.
• Use medium or high temperatures and steam. If needed, you can also spray some water on the fabric.
• Iron on the reverse side.
• Smooth and fold, or press with an iron if desired.
• If you like the natural, slightly crinkled look of linen, you can skip the ironing.

Shrinkage 

• Our washed linen production is highly resistant for shrinkage compared with non-washed linen.
• Pre-shrunk items normally shrink 3 percent or less.
• Do not wash or, especially, dry linens on a hot setting, which is most likely to cause shrinkage.
