Washing & Care Guide
Caring for your linen bedding properly keeps it soft, durable, and beautiful for years. Follow these simple steps to enjoy the full comfort and longevity of your linen.
How Often to Wash Linen Bedding
- Wash your sheets every 1–2 weeks for everyday use.
- Rotating between multiple sets helps your linen last longer and reduces wear.
Washing Linen in the Machine
- Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (30°C–40°C).
- Choose a mild, bleach-free detergent.
- Avoid fabric softeners as they coat the fibers and reduce linen’s natural breathability.
- For small items like pillowcases, use a mesh laundry bag to protect them from stress and stretch.
Drying Linen
- Air-dry whenever possible for the softest, longest-lasting linen.
- If using a dryer, select a low heat or delicate setting. Remove while slightly damp to avoid stiffness and damage.
- Dry in the shade to prevent sun bleaching.
Removing Stains
- Treat stains promptly with a gentle detergent or a natural stain remover.
- For greasy stains, clear dish soap works wonders.
- For red wine or other coloured stains, a paste of baking soda and water should do the trick.
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Linen
- Wash on gentle cycles using cold or lukewarm water.
- Rotate between multiple bedding sets to reduce frequent wear on one set.
- Air-dry in the shade whenever possible.
- Use mesh bags for smaller pieces like pillowcases.
- Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.
Pro tip: Over time, linen becomes softer and more luxurious—proper care ensures it ages gracefully, maintaining both comfort and beauty over decades.
