CARING FOR YOUR LINEN

WASHING:

• Wash prior to use
• Wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle using a non-harsh detergent.  Wash with like colours and fabrics.  Avoid washing with towels which may coat your sheets with lint.
• Launder any stains immediately.  If allowed to set they may be impossible to remove later.
• Do not bleach, soak or dye your sheets.  Do not dry clean.
• Ensure all linen is rinsed thoroughly removing all soaps and detergents.

DRYING:

• Line drying is preferred, however if tumble drying, use a low heat setting.  High heat may damage the fibres. 
• Remove from line or dryer slightly damp if possible to avoid overdrying.
• Overdrying on the line for a prolonged time may affect colour.

IRONING:

• Some prefer the natural crinkled texture of linen and prefer not to iron, however if you prefer the smoother texture, then use a low heat setting.
• Iron on the wrong side first and then on the right side for light coloured linens.  Only iron dark linens on the wrong side.
• Iron linen until satisfactorily smooth, but not bone dry.

STORING:

• Linen dries quickly so either store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place or set it back on the bed slightly damp.
• Do not store your linen in plastic bags, cardboard boxes etc. as fumes can rot or mark the linen.
• When storing for long periods, be sure to refold your linen periodically to improve ventilation.
