Your linen garment is pre-washed and won’t shrink as long as you follow proper handling methods.
1. Washing & drying methods
Use a mild detergent and a delicate wash cycle. Stick to temps below 40°c (100°f). Dry on low for softness or hang to preserve structure. If ironing is your preference, go inside-out and avoid high settings to protect the fabric.
2. Best ways to prolong life
Consider dry cleaning occasionally. Repeated washing leads to softness but may degrade fiber quality faster. To keep your linen looking great, avoid over-washing.
3. When linen breaks down
Linen is strong, but not stretchy. Frequent folding or pressing on the same area can snap fibers. That’s why certain parts like hems or cuffs wear quicker.
4. High friction areas
Tight garments or repetitive movement may cause damage to spots like thighs or sleeves. Wearing the correct size minimizes stress on these zones.
5. Color wear and tear
Linen dyed with eco-friendly dyes may fade with use. Wash similar tones together, avoid long sun exposure, and be cautious with chemical products like shampoo or deodorants.
6. Managing fabric fuzz
While rare, pilling can occur. Don’t panic—just wash linens separately and handle gently.
7. Stain removal advice
Avoid bleach. For stubborn stains, dab gently with diluted vinegar or test stain removers on a hidden seam first.
