HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LINEN GARMENTS SO THEY LAST LONGER

Linen is one of the oldest and most appreciated fabrics in the world of fashion. Known for its freshness, durability and natural elegance, linen is an excellent choice for summer. However, to maintain its properties and prolong its lifespan, proper care is essential. Below, we offer you some practical tips to care for your linen garments and ensure that they look impeccable for a long time.

Tips for caring for your linen garments

1. Proper washing for linen garments

Washing is one of the most important aspects of linen care. Here are some recommendations:

• Hand wash or delicate cycle: Hand washing is the best option for linen garments, but if you prefer the washing machine, use a delicate cycle with cold water.
• Mild detergents: Use mild detergents and avoid products with bleach that can damage the linen fibers.
• Do not overload the washing machine: Wash your linen garments carefully, without overloading the washing machine, to avoid unnecessary friction.

2. Drying linen garments

Proper drying is also crucial to maintaining the quality of linen:

• Air drying: It is best to dry linen garments outdoors, avoiding direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
• Do not tumble dry: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can shrink and damage the linen fibers.
• Flat drying: To avoid deformations, dry garments horizontally, especially heavier ones such as sweaters or jackets.

3. Carefully iron the linen

Linen tends to wrinkle easily, so ironing it correctly is essential:

• Warm Iron: Use an iron on a medium-high setting and, if possible, iron garments while they are still slightly damp for best results.
• Spray with water: If the garments are dry, spray them with a little water before ironing to facilitate the process and remove wrinkles more easily.
• Iron inside out: Iron garments inside out to avoid shine and protect the fibers.

4. Proper storage

Proper storage also helps keep your linen garments in good condition:

• Cool, dry place: Store clothes in a cool, dry place, avoiding humidity that can cause mold and bad odors.
• Padded hangers: Use padded hangers to maintain the shape of your clothes and avoid marks on your shoulders.
• Fold carefully: If you prefer to fold your clothes, do so carefully to avoid deep wrinkles and store them in clean drawers or shelves.

5. Professional care

For more delicate linen garments or those with special details, consider professional care:

• Dry cleaning: Some linen items may benefit from dry cleaning, especially those with embroidery, appliqués or very intense colors.
• Repairs: If you notice any damage, go to a professional for repairs before the damage becomes worse.
