Caring for Your MeanderWild European Flax Linen Products
Here are some essential care guidelines to ensure your linen remains in excellent shape:
Washing:
- Opt for cold or warm water and use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Group similar colors and fabrics while washing, and avoid mixing with towels to prevent lint transfer.
- Address stains promptly to prevent them from becoming permanent.
- Avoid using bleach, soaking, or attempting to dye your linen. Dry cleaning is also not recommended.
- Thoroughly rinse your linen to remove any residual soap or detergent.
Drying:
- While line drying is ideal, you can use a low-heat setting if you opt for machine drying. Avoid high heat, as it may damage the fabric.
- Remove your linen from the line or dryer while it's slightly damp to prevent over-drying.
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight during line drying may affect the color over time.
Ironing:
- Linen naturally possesses a relaxed, crinkled texture. If you prefer a smoother appearance, use a low heat setting while ironing.
- Start with the wrong side, then iron the right side for light-colored linens. Dark linens should only be ironed on the wrong side.
- Iron your linen until it's satisfactorily smooth but avoid making it bone dry.
Storing:
- Linen dries quickly, so it's best stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Alternatively, return it to the bed slightly damp.
- Avoid storing your linen in plastic bags or cardboard boxes, as these can lead to issues like moisture retention and linen damage due to fumes.
- For long-term storage, periodically refold your linen to improve ventilation.
By following these guidelines, you'll ensure that your MeanderWild linen remains in excellent condition for a long time to come.
