To begin, sort cotton linens by colour (whites, light colours, dark colours) and category (sheets, towels, tablecloths). Do not include items made of synthetic fibres nor garments with components that may damage fabrics (zippers, hooks, metal parts). When loading the machine, ensure items are unfolded.
Delicate items with lace and embroidery should be enclosed in a large, lightweight mesh laundry bag. Pillowcases and duvet covers should be washed inside out to protect embellishments.
Wash in cold water. When the wash cycle is complete, remove linens immediately and shake to minimise wrinkles.
Linenior cotton is selected to achieve the optimal balance of strength, softness, longevity and comfort. To preserve these qualities, select mild biodegradable liquid detergent free of bleach and whiteners. Avoid powdered detergent or detergents containing alkali and make sure detergent is fully dissolved before water touches the fabric. The amount of detergent needed depends on the linens’ soil level and the water’s hardness.
When machine drying, never dry at high temperatures. If your dryer is adjustable, use the medium temperature fan and medium spin speed. For bed linens,remove from the dryer before completely dry, gently lay flat on an ironing board, then iron.
When line drying, open each item and shake before hanging. Do not place articles in direct sunlight as sunlight will cause colours to fade and white to yellow.
When ironing cotton, use a steam iron on a warm/high setting. For embroidered linens, iron items on the reverse side and whilst damp for best results. Avoid using spray starch.
After ironing, store cotton folded flat in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Cottons stored long-term should avoid being stored in plastic bags and boxes as natural fibres need to breathe. Make sure stored cottons are not exposed to direct sunlight, which can cause permanent yellowing. For a crisp clean scent, store with a scented sachet.
