Linen clothes need less washing than you’d expect. Hang them up to ventilate between wears. This prolongs the life of your clothes and also it is environment friendly.

Machine wash with a low spin at 30°C or hand wash. High temperatures can weaken and shrink the fibers. When hand washing, rinse with lukewarm water.

Hang linen pieces to air dry. Tumble drying will shrink or damage the fibers. It also uses lots of energy.

Take care not to use thin wire hangers or clips that could leave impressions or pull the shoulders out of shape.

Linen can crease easily. Hang in the bathroom while taking a hot shower and use the steam to reduce creases.
