KEEP LINEN LIKE NEW – 8 SIMPLE TIPS AT HOME

Linen, with its outstanding advantages such as breathability, durability, and environmental friendliness, has become a favorite material in fashion and interior design. However, to keep linen products looking like new, proper washing and preservation is important. Below are detailed instructions from Linen Vietnam to help you extend the life of linen products.

Notes when washing linen

Hand wash or machine wash with gentle mode

Linen can become frayed if the process is too strong and there is a lot of friction. To best preserve linen, use the gentle mode or hand wash to protect the fabric fibers.

Choose a mild detergent

Avoid using strong detergents because they can damage the natural structure of linen. Instead, natural fabric treatments such as enzyme detergents or pumice powder are a safe and environmentally friendly choice for linen.

Appropriate water temperature

Linen is a heat-resistant material, so washing linen at 30–40°C is ideal to preserve the color and texture of the fabric.

How to dry and iron linen to keep it soft

  • Avoid drying completely with a dryer: High temperatures from a dryer or direct sunlight will cause the fabric to fade and become stiff. The effective way to dry linen is to let the fabric dry naturally and hang it in a place away from direct sunlight.
  • Iron at high temperatures when still damp: Linen wrinkles easily, but wrinkles are a characteristic of this fabric. If you need to flatten, iron while the fabric is still damp or use a steam iron for best results.
  • Hang clothes properly: Hang clothes immediately after washing and ironing to help them keep their shape and avoid wrinkles.

Common mistakes

  • Do not use bleach: Bleach will weaken the fabric fibers and reduce their durability.
    Avoid wringing too hard: Wringing hard after washing can cause loss of shape and excessive wrinkling.
  • Do not use too much fabric softener: Fabric softener can reduce the natural breathability of linen.

Linen care is not too complicated if you master the above notes. With meticulousness in each washing and preservation step, you will maintain the natural beauty, soft feeling and long life of the product.

Currently, Linen Vietnam sells ECO STONEWASHING ENZYM Pumice Powder and PRECIOUS TOUCH SOFTNER to make the washing process easier and help you preserve the quality of the fabric. Start applying it now to keep your linen items as durable and beautiful as new!
