Linen care
Unlike other materials, the more you wash linen, the softer, more supple and beautiful it becomes. It can obviously be washed by hand, but also in the machine. Be careful, however, with older machines, which end up damaging all fibers, including linen... We recommend that you wash your colored linen table linen at 40°C and up to 60°C for white or in case of tasks. Do not overload the machine and separate the colors.
No need for special detergent. Choose a mild detergent, and avoid detergents containing chlorine or bleaching agents, which could tarnish and/or damage your linen table linen.
We recommend 600 to 800 revolutions per minute maximum. Beyond that, you risk damaging the fiber.
Preferred: air drying! Linen is a material that dries quickly! If you have adequate space, we advise you to let your linen table linen air dry, flat or laid out.
Machine drying: machine drying is also possible, but choose a gentle cycle.
Ironing is optional. Indeed, if not ironed, your linen table linen will keep its natural, slightly wrinkled and chic appearance.
If you are not a fan of the wrinkled appearance, you can iron your table linen at low heat and making sure that your linen is still slightly damp.
- red wine : Did a few drops escape from the glasses? Rub the stain with sparkling water and put your laundry in the machine as soon as possible.
- greasy substances : lather the stain with dishwashing liquid and water, then let your laundry rest overnight before putting your laundry in the machine
- coffee and tea : dab your laundry with water then put white vinegar on the stain. Put your laundry in the machine as soon as possible.
- blood : in the event of a cut, soak the blood stain in physiological serum and put your laundry in the washing machine as soon as possible.
- candle : remove as much wax as possible without scraping, place the fabric between two pieces of paper towel, then apply a hot iron to absorb the remaining wax.
- Grass : soak the stain with rubbing alcohol (for colored linen) or lemon juice (for white linen). Then, head to the washing machine!
