Care Tips For Your Linen
A little note to our fellow linen enthusiasts! Linen may feel slightly scratchy at first, but don’t worry—it softens beautifully with each wash and your body heat.
Here’s how to care for it to ensure the perfect softness:
- Wash in Cold or 30°C: Use a gentle machine wash with cold water or at 30 degrees Celsius. This preserves the natural fibers and keeps your linen looking fresh.
- Skip the Dry Cleaning: Linen is best cared for at home. Dry cleaning can be harsh on the fibers.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Because linen is made from natural flax fibers, fabric softeners can clog the tiny spaces between threads, reducing breathability and softness. Let the natural washing process do its job.
- Use the Dryer Sparingly opt for airy drying: If you're eager to speed up the softening, use the dryer on a low setting for the first few washes. The gentle warmth will help soften the fibers more quickly. Or, ideally line dry in airy conditions for a fresh, crisp touch. For coloured linen, avoid direct sunlight and dry in a shady spot to preserve its hue.
- Storing your linen: Keep your linen in a cool, dry place with good airflow.
- Embrace the Journey: That initial scratchy feeling is just the start of your linen’s transformation. With each wash and night’s sleep, it’ll get softer and more comfortable.
Enjoy your linen, and get ready for some seriously snuggly nights ahead!
