How to care for linen?

First of all, remember that linen ages beautifully and with each wash the fabric becomes softer and more delicate.

1. Preparation

We recommend washing your linen separately (without other fabrics) and paying attention to their colors (we do not combine white with other colors). Before putting the bedding products in the washing machine, it is worth turning them inside out and fixing the ties or buttons (depending on the finishes).

2. Washing linen

Of course, linen can be washed in washing machines or by hand.

White linen at 40-60°C, colored linen at 40°C. Too high temperatures can shrink the fabric by 10%.

Spin drying often damages the laundry so you should choose 800 rpm maximum.

Mild fabric softeners are recommended only for the first wash. In daily use we do not recommend using them because they coat natural fibers and decrease absorption properties.

Embroidered items should be washed inside out, taking care for their durability and appearance.

2. Drying linen

Whenever possible, we dry white linen (colored linen can fade in the sun) outside, hanging it to air, and then enjoy it at home, enjoying the fresh smell of the fabric.

Of course, it is also possible to dry it in dryers in the appropriate programs with caution. Opt for the very short and delicate program.

3. Ironing linen

In linen, we love everything, even the folds. If you iron it, it should be 200 ° C (this applies mainly to linen with a classic finish, soft/washed linen does not require ironing, the folds are its personal charm).

Attention !

- Bleaching agents containing chlorine destroy the fabric and weaken its structure (If a stain appears, apply a little natural soap and then rub lightly before washing, or use Terre de Sommières).

- No dry cleaning.

Flax is a discreet but powerful plant. Once used, it cannot be forgotten. We promise!
