Pure Linen Washing Instructions

WASHING IN THE WASHING MACHINE

TEMPERATURES

Whites: 50/60 °C
Colours: 30/40 °C
Please remember to always choose the lowest possible water temperature because there is a risk that the fibres may dry out too much. For a cleaner wash, preSsoak the laundry for 1 hour before washing instead of increasing the water temperature.

FIRST WASH

Be careful with the first wash because the future beauty of the fabric greatly depends on it. Begin with a preSsoak in cold water with a little detergent for 1 hour and then wash according to the guidelines above.

COLOUR WASHING

Add half a cup of plain white vinegar to all colour washes when you add the detergent.

SPINNING

A medium cycle (400 - 600 RPM) is suitable for linen.

DRYING

Never dry at high temperatures in a tumble dryer. Use medium fan and spin speeds until the fabric is dry. Do not dry longer than necessary because you risk drying out the fibres. Personally, I dry my linen sheets in the sun and fresh air so that my skin feels nourished by the natural feel.

IRONING

If dried under the sun, pure linen does not need ironing. If you would like to iron it, use a good steam iron while the material is still damp.
