Washing program

Choose a gentle washing cycle. If we have the possibility to set the water level, it is good to choose the maximum. Linen likes a water bath.

Loading the drum

Do not overload the washing machine. Linen fabric should move freely in the drum. Otherwise it can lose its original shape. Linen products become softer and softer with every washing.

Washing temperature

Linen things should be washed at a cool or warm temperature, preferably up to 40°C.  Never wash linen in very cold or hot water.

Detergents

Use only delicate washing products. Strong detergents or bleach can weaken and destroy linen fibers and may discolor them. We also do not recommend the use of fabric softening fluids, because they reduce the absorption properties of flax. If you have hard water, we recommend water softeners.

Spin

Set the spin speed to low. If the washing machine has a “no crease” program, it is worth turning it on.

Hand wash

During hand washing, you cannot wring or twist linen. This could cause for the fabric to lose its original shape and permanent creases.

Drying

After removal from the washing machine, linen products should be shaken, and it is best to lay it out flat. If possible, it is worth drying linen in the open air. Linen likes the wind. However, do not expose linen fabric to the bright sun. High temperature destroys fibers that become brittle and prone to damage.

Ironing

If the washing and drying rules are observed, linen products do not require ironing (especially those made of stonewashed linen).  However, if you decide to iron linen, then it is worth doing it when it is a bit moist or use steam for ironing.
