When properly looked after, our linen homewares will keep on looking beautiful and performing brilliantly for years. Here's what you need to know about caring for your linen product:
Washing
- Machine wash up to 104°F – don't use higher temperatures as these can damage the fabric's fibres, causing wear and shrinkage.
- Wash linen items separately from other fabrics.
- Separate white, dark and coloured linens.
- Use the gentle cycle and don't overload your machine – ensuring garments have sufficient space means they can rinse and dry properly.
- Never use bleach
Drying and storing
- Tumble dry on a low heat or gentle setting.
- If ironing, steam rather than simply hot pressing.
- Make sure linen items are completely dry before putting away.
- Store somewhere dry (preferably in linen bags)
Colour and sunlight
- Our linen is dyed gently, without harsh chemical fixatives, to preserve the natural character of the fibre.
- Prolonged direct sunlight may cause colours to fade over time – this is a natural characteristic of linen, not a fault.
- For very sunny rooms, natural or undyed shades are the most lightfast.
- Rotate or reverse curtains occasionally so the colour ages evenly.
- Dry coloured linen away from direct sun.
