LINEN CARE GUIDE

High-quality linen products are durable and long-lasting. Linen care is simple — however, a few basic rules will ensure your linen pieces remain soft, beautiful, and long-lasting for years to come.

The Unique Properties of Linen Fabric

Linen is valued for its natural thermoregulatory properties and timeless elegance. For centuries it has been used to make clothing, bedding, and home textiles. Unlike synthetic fabrics, linen requires gentler care to preserve its natural texture, strength, and durability. Properly cared of linen will last longer and retain its unique properties.

Preparing Linen Before Washing

1. Read the care label
Always read the care label first — it indicates the washing method, appropriate temperature, and drying settings. All linen products we sell are softened, making them more durable, shape-retaining, and machine washable.

2. Separate colored and white linens
Sort linen items by color before washing. Washing colored and white items separately prevents unwanted color changes.

3. Treat stains before washing
Linen absorbs liquids quickly, so treat stains immediately. Blot with a clean cloth without rubbing, apply a mild stain remover directly to the stain, leave for 10–15 minutes, then wash. For stubborn stains, soak in lukewarm water for an additional 30 minutes.

How to Wash Natural Linen

In the washing machine:

  • Select a gentle cycle with water up to 40°C / 104°F
  • Use a mild detergent without aggressive chemicals — avoid bleach
  • Do not overload the washing machine
  • Use a mesh laundry bag for small or delicate items
  • Remove washed items immediately and shake gently before drying

At a professional cleaning company:

  • Choose a company with experience handling linen items
  • Follow their advice on care and handling

Washing Guide by Product Type

Bedroom textiles (bedspreads, bedding sets, pillowcases)
Wash in water up to 40°C / 104°F using mild detergents. Do not overload the machine — linen needs space to move freely in the drum. If air drying, smooth out creases before hanging. If using a tumble dryer, select low heat and remove while slightly damp. Iron while still slightly damp for best results.

Kitchen and dining textiles (tablecloths, table runners, napkins)
Check for heavy stains before washing — soak in warm water with mild detergent if needed. Wash on a gentle cycle at up to 40°C / 104°F with similar colors. Tumble dry on low or air dry in a well-ventilated space.

Living room textiles (curtains, sofa covers, bed covers)
Before washing, ensure large items will fit comfortably in your machine — they need enough space to wash thoroughly. Wash on a gentle cycle at up to 40°C / 104°F with mild detergent. If in doubt, contact a professional cleaning 

How to Dry Linen Properly

Outdoors or air drying:
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight — it can fade colors and weaken the fabric. Turn larger items over while drying to ensure even results.

In a tumble dryer:
Use the lowest temperature or gentle setting. Do not overload the dryer. Remove items while still slightly damp and hang to finish drying naturally.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using strong detergents or bleach — they weaken and fade linen fabric
  • Washing or drying at high temperatures — linen may shrink or become damaged
  • Overloading the washing machine or dryer — linen will wrinkle and lose its appearance

Frequently Asked Questions

Slide image

Can I bleach linen products?

No. Bleach weakens linen fibers and causes color fading. If needed, use an oxygen-based, non-aggressive bleach only.

Slide image

Does linen shrink when washed?

Depending on how it has been processed, linen may shrink — especially at high temperatures. Always wash on a gentle cycle in water up to 40°C / 104°F with mild detergent.

Slide image

Can I use fabric softener? 

We do not recommend it. Fabric softeners coat the fibers and reduce absorbency. Use dryer balls instead to keep linen naturally soft.

Slide image

Is it normal that rustic linen has knots?

Yes — completely normal. These knots, sometimes called slubs, form naturally during spinning and weaving. They are a characteristic of rustic linen fabric, giving it a unique handmade and vintage look.

Is it normal to find a large amount of lint in the dryer filter?

Yes. Linen naturally sheds at the beginning of its lifecycle — this is part of the softening process. Linen becomes softer with every wash, and shedding will decrease naturally over time as loose fibers are removed.
