So you’ve committed to linen. Now what? Taking proper care of your items will help your linen lead a long and happy life.

Before you start to enjoy your new linen, here are a few tips:

• Machine wash in cold water with like colours and fabrics before using
• Use gentle, enzyme free detergents (we love Nellie’s Laundry Soda), do not use bleach or fabric softener- enzymes and fabric softener accelerate the wear of linen and can produce more lint than when a natural detergent is used
• Do not wash or dry with any items that have buttons, hooks, etc. to avoid snagging
• Tumble dry on low or hang to dry and be sure to empty the lint trap a few times over the first 5-10 drying cycles (more for our Waffle Towels)
• Avoid using acidic self care items before bed - especially products with ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and citric acid.
• Heirloom Quilts are machine washable and can go into your dryer. We recommend limiting washes to once per month.
• Rotate your Fitted Sheet! Give your favourite sheets time to rest between uses.
