Linen Care
Linen Care
Linen is a textile made from the fibres of the flax plant. It's very strong and absorbent, which makes it a comfortable option for warm weather. Due to its large fibres and open weaves, it's highly breathable and incredibly durable. Over time, linen becomes softer with each wash without losing its strength. It's important to follow any specific instructions provided on your garment's care label.
What to do:
- Wash with a gentle detergent and with similar colours.
- Squeeze excess water out when washing.
- Hang outside to dry on a rail or clothesline.
- Iron when damp and keep iron moving constantly to avoid scorching.
- For linen suits and jackets, dry clean only to maintain shape and protect trims.
- Check the care tag on your linen pieces for best washing advice.
What not to do:
- Twist when washing and drying.
- Dry in direct sunlight.
- Use fabric softener.
- Use bleach to clean; it can discolour and damage.
