LINEN CARE
LINEN CARE
Linen is a natural fibre derived from the stem of the flax plant. It is an effortless and easy to wear fabric with a beautiful raw aspect. It is perfect for the summer, as it helps regulate the temperature between your body and the garment you are wearing. There are several ways to care for your linen pieces. Here’s what you need to know;
Washing
Linen based garments are very easy to care for and can be machine washed. They
should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a gentle or hand wash cycle.
If your linen is a vibrant or dark colour, stick with cold water to avoid fading. If you’re
looking for a more environmentally friendly option, you may decide to hand wash. If
you are washing your linen by hand, then do so in water no warmer than 40°C using a
small amount of mild detergent suited for delicate fabrics; such as Attire Care’s Delicate
Wash, and gently rub the fabric without pulling. Dry cleaning may be necessary in some
cases if cleaning Blazers, Jackets or more delicate items. Always make sure that you
read the care label and follow the individual cleaning instruction for the garment.
Drying
Linen is very fast drying. Wherever possible it is recommended that you dry your linen
pieces flat in the open air to ensure the garment maintains its shape and overall
appearance.
Ironing
When your garment is still slightly damp it can be ironed inside out on a high
temperature. Use a steamer to remove excess wrinkles and assist with areas that are
difficult to iron. To save time try using Attire Care’s Crease Release Spray, an innovative,
invisible spray-on solution designed to leave your clothing crease free without the need
for pressing or ironing garments.
