Washing : A good quality linen lasts a long time, but in order to ensure they will last for their maximum lifetime it is best to hand wash or machine wash on a low temperature with a mild detergent. A mild detergent would typically mean any detergent that is scent-dye free, a detergent designed for baby clothes, or a specific linen detergent. Avoid detergent with Optical Brightening Agents, as they may cause colour alteration. NEVER use bleach on linen! No, not even for white linen. Bleach is linen’s worst enemy, and can cause the fibre to rip or wear out much quicker.
Stains: The wonderful thing about linen is that stains lift easily from the fabric, making the stain removal process less stressful than most other fabrics. Always treat a stain before washing and hang dry to make sure the stain has cleared. If you machine dry the stain will set in the fabric and make it more difficult to get out. DO NOT use bleach products. Do not use hydrogen peroxide based stain removers.
Ironing: Linen irons best when damp on a medium/high setting.
