Linen Care Guide

Linen is a natural, breathable, and durable fiber. Proper care not only extends the life of your clothing or bedding but also makes it softer and more comfortable against the skin over time. Here are detailed care recommendations:

1、Washing

Water Temperature: We recommend washing in lukewarm water (below 40°C) or cold water. Excessively high water temperatures may cause the linen fibers to shrink or become damaged.

Detergent: Please use a neutral, mild detergent. Never use detergents containing bleach or optical brighteners, as these can damage the natural fibers and cause fading.

Washing Instructions:

Machine Wash: Select the “Gentle cycle.” Do not overload the washing machine; allow the linen enough space to move freely to prevent excessive twisting and distortion.

Hand Wash: Gently agitate; do not wring or twist dry.

Sorting: Be sure to wash light-colored and dark-colored linen separately.

2、Drying

Air-dry (preferred): Linen dries quickly. After washing, gently shake out the garment and lay it flat or hang it on a hanger to air-dry in the shade.

Avoid direct sunlight: Strong direct sunlight can make the fibers brittle and cause fading.

Tumble Drying: If you must use a dryer, select the low-heat setting. Remove the garment while it is still slightly damp (about 80–90% dry) to help reduce stubborn wrinkles.

3、Ironing

Iron while slightly damp: This is the best time to iron linen. Ironing while the fabric is still slightly damp yields the smoothest results.

Temperature Setting: Use the iron’s “Linen/High Heat” setting.

Prevent Shine: For dark-colored linen, it is recommended to iron on the reverse side to prevent shiny marks (shine) from appearing on the front.

Embrace the Creases: Moderate, natural creases are a hallmark of linen’s unique texture. If you’re going for a casual look, you can skip the ironing step entirely.

4、Stain Removal

Treat Immediately: Rinse the affected area with cold water as soon as you notice a stain.

Spot Cleaning: Gently dab the area with a small amount of mild soapy water. Once the stain has dissolved, rinse thoroughly. Do not scrub vigorously, as this may cause localized wear and discoloration.

5、Storage

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing in plastic bags; natural fibers need to “breathe” to prevent mold growth.

Folding Instructions: For long-term storage, lay flat or hang. Avoid prolonged pressure on the same spot to prevent permanent creases that are difficult to remove.

Helpful Tip

Linen has excellent moisture-wicking and thermal properties. During the first wash, linen may shrink slightly (typically around 3%–5%); this is a normal characteristic of natural fibers. With repeated washing, the fabric will develop an increasingly attractive sheen and texture.
