NEW LINEN

We strongly recommend that you wash your new laundry before use. Primarily in order to eliminate industrial odour and allow the natural materials to relax. The laundry is mostly done a bit bigger in order to fit the expected shrinking so that after washing it perfectly suits your needs.

SORTING

White and colored linens should always be washed separately. A new piece of fabric contains some excess color that gets washed out during the first few washes. Therefore, linens should always be sorted before washing according to the intensity of the colour (separate light from dark tones).

FOLDING FABRIC

Fabric should be spread for washing. To avoid removing any coloration, do not wash the goods in a folded state. Also, keep in mind that the washing machine should not be too full since overloads put pressure on the load and could cause wrinkles, bleaching or damage to the fabric.

DOSAGE OF DETERGENT

Follow the dosages listed on the instructions. Small amounts of detergent result in the formation of a lime scale on the laundry. Plaques causes fabric stiffness as well as a decreas in whiteness.

OPTICAL BLEACH

White linen should always be washed with a detergent that contains an optical bleach to maintain a high degree of whiteness.

For colored linen, the optical bleach has a negative effect on the fabric, it changes and brightens the shade (especially in pastel colours). Therefore, coloured linen should only be washed with detergents that do not contain optical bleach.

Most of today’s detergents contain optical bleach and it is very difficult to avoid it. One of the advantages of our colored linen is that it tolerates the optical bleach well. To reduce the appearance of bleaching, already in the production stage, we have tinted bright tones with an appropriate amount of optical white.

WASHING WITH CHLORINE

Although all the goods are painted with reductive dyes and are therefore resistant to chlorine, we recommend that you do not use chlorine based agents whenever possible. Chlorine as such damages the cotton material and using it, your laundry will last less.

DRYING

Use lower temperature when drying your linen so that there is no “overheating” that can significantly increase the shrinkage.

IRONING

Be sure to follow instructions. To get a smooth texture and stability, always iron in the vertical direction (fabric warp direction). When ironing, be sure to dampen your linen so that it irons better (optimum humidity of 20%).

CARE SYMBOLS

Be sure to follow the instructions and symbols given by the producer care guide.
