European Linen Info & Care Guide
Want to know the best way to take care of and properly wash your European linen?
But first, what is Linen?
Linen is highly absorbent
Linen, made from flax fiber, has a unique hollow structure that allows it to absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture, making it ideal for towels, pillow covers, table linens, and bedding. Its ability to absorb moisture makes it particularly advantageous for everyday use, and it is known to last longer than cotton, making it a durable and practical choice for various household items.
Linen is breathable
Linen fabric is highly breathable and moisture-absorbent, making it ideal for warm weather. Its quick-drying properties and ability to release moisture prevent it from sticking to the body. Additionally, linen acts as a natural insulator, keeping you cool in the summer and retaining body heat in colder temperatures.
Linen is hypoallergenic
Hypoallergenic qualities make linen a perfect option for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Some claim that linen may aid healing of wounds and purported to alleviate certain skin conditions such as eczema.
Caring for linen
It is suggested to launder linen separately and on a gentle cycle in lukewarm or cold H2O (40°C/104°F) using a cleaning agent meant for delicate or linen items. Do not use bleach or detergents with brightening agents, as they may discolor and damage your linen sheets. Do not overload the machine; be sure to rinse thoroughly to eliminate any soap or fabric softener residue.
Linen material can be tumble-dried on low heat. It is recommended by manufacturers not drying completely, but leaving them a bit damp and hanging or laying flat to finish the drying process.
