Linen loves to be washed and ironed as much as possible. Because of this it becomes softer, more beautiful and pleasant. However it is advisable to wash linen products in washing machine rather than chemically cleaning.


Before washing your linen, please carefully read the care label information and choose the most suitable washing. Washing means containing a bleaching agent are ideal for white fabrics, but they should not be used for coloured fabrics as fabric can fade or lose the colour. It is recommended to use pure soap or mild detergents, but never use bleach with chlorine, which can damage fabric.

 
Linen absorbs water well, so it is advisable to wash in a large quantity of water. If you use hard water or there is high level of lime, please add softener agents, especially for darker-coloured linen. Water temperature should be selected in accordance with the manufacturer's care label indicated signs; they are usually referred to 40 ° C or 60 ° C temperature. If the water temperature exceeds the recommended maximum temperature, the fabric may be shrunk.

 
Never wash dark clothes with lighter products. If you wash in washing machine do not overload it, linen clothes should move freely. When you wash coloured or embroidered clothes, add salt, and add the vinegar which helps to prevent colour fading.


Whether the washing is by hand or washing machine - linen must be rinse with the large quantity of water to remove all soap and detergent residues. Soap and other detergent residues oxygenate which leads to the so-called age spots.
