If you notice any stains on your linen clothing, it’s best to pre-treat them before washing. You can use a gentle stain remover or create a paste with water and mild detergent to apply directly to the stains.

• Use a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F) to prevent shrinking or fading.
  
• It’s best to wash linen with similar colors to avoid color transfer.

• For delicate items, consider hand washing in cold water.
• Gently agitate the fabric without wringing or twisting to avoid damage.

Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach, which can weaken the fibres and cause discolouration.

Air Dry - Lay the linen flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

• Iron While Damp
• Set your iron to a medium-high heat setting (around 200°C or 392°F) as linen can withstand higher temperatures.
• For best results, iron linen while it is still slightly damp. Use the steam setting on your iron to help smooth out any wrinkles.
• Iron on the reverse side or place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid direct contact.

• Fold Carefully
• Store your linen garments folded rather than hung to avoid stretching.
• Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration.
  
  
  
  

• Avoid Soaking: Do not soak linen items for extended periods, as this can weaken the fabric and cause unwanted creasing.
• Spot Clean: For stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth or sponge before washing the entire garment.

• Water Temperature: Always wash in cold or lukewarm water. Hot water can cause shrinkage and color bleeding. 
• Detergent: Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the fibers. 
• Washing Machine: Use the delicate cycle or a gentle wash cycle to minimize agitation. 
• Inside Out: Turn cotton garments inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and reduce fading. 
• Fabric Softener: Avoid fabric softeners as they can coat the cotton fibers, making them less absorbent and potentially dulling the fabric's appearance.  

• Air Drying: The best option is to air dry cotton items, as this prevents shrinkage and colour fading. 
• Tumble Drying: If using a dryer, use a low heat setting. High heat can cause shrinkage. Rather avoid tumble drying.

• Iron Temperature: Iron cotton fabrics on a medium heat setting, preferably with steam or a damp cloth to prevent scorching. 
• Iron Inside Out: Ironing inside out can help protect the fabric's surface. 

• Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly with a stain remover before washing.  Spot cleaning is recommended for best results. 
• Storage: Store cotton garments in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Breathable storage options like cotton bags are preferable to plastic.
