Washing Linen: Keep It Clean Without Compromise

Wash Less, Air More

Linen doesn't retain odors or sweat as synthetic clothing. Between wearing's, frequently just an air out is needed. Wash only when absolutely required to help minimize wear and fabric stress.

Use Cold or Lukewarm Water

Wash all your linen in cold to lukewarm water (30°C or less). Hot water will shrink fibers or cause the weave to lose strength over time.

Choose a Mild, Natural Detergent

No strong chemical detergents. Gentle, environmentally friendly detergents that maintain color and fiber quality instead.

Gentle Wash Cycle or Hand Wash

Utilize the delicate or gentle cycle of your washing machine, or hand wash for added caution. Turn clothes inside out to avoid friction.

Drying Linen: Don’t Let the Heat Beat the Fabric

Air Dry in Shade

Once washed, shake gently to minimize wrinkles, and hang out to dry in open shade or filtered sunlight. Avoid direct heat as it may lead to fading.

Avoid High-Heat Tumble Drying

Although tumble drying at low heat is fine every so often, line drying is always best. High temperatures can cause shrinkage and damage.

Embrace the Wrinkles

A subtle crease is linen's trademark. It enhances its easy elegance. If you desire a more crisp appearance, gently steam or iron when it's still wet.

Storing Linen: Let It Breathe

Fold, Don't Hang (Most of the Time)

Fold linen pants and shirts tidily in airy cotton storage. Sometimes, hanging can stretch out shoulder seams or form creases in the long term.

Keep it Dry and Cool

Store in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight. Use natural moth anti sachets (such as lavender or cedar) if storing long term.

Do not use Plastic Covers

Linen must breathe. Don't use plastic garment bags, but rather cotton storage bags to keep and preserve.
