Our linen is a natural fiber of ancient origin, prized since ancient times for its unique qualities and durability. This fiber, extracted from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), is spun using traditional, environmentally friendly techniques, without the use of chemical additives, finishes, or sizing agents. Our linen is produced using sustainable cycles, enhancing the quality of the fiber and protecting the planet. For this very reason, small fiber clumps may sometimes be seen on printed linen garments, where the print color appears slightly different or missing. It's important to emphasize that this characteristic isn't a defect; rather, it's proof that the product was made using traditional and sustainable manufacturing techniques, thus ensuring a high-quality, environmentally friendly product.
Washing and maintaining linen garments is a very simple task, as long as you follow a few basic rules. These rules help preserve the integrity of the fabric, keeping the colors vibrant and improving the softness and sheen of tablecloths and bed linens over time. Proper care enhances the natural beauty of this fiber, making each piece an element of lasting style and comfort.
When it comes to stains on printed tablecloths, it's important to avoid using bleach or harsh whiteners, which could damage the fabric and fade the designs. For more stubborn stains, we recommend treating them with liquid oxygenated detergents specifically designed for colored fabrics. Simply apply the detergent directly to the stain, rubbing lightly with a cloth or sponge, and then proceed with the normal machine wash. This technique is effective and gentle, respecting the fiber and colors, and allows you to remove even the most stubborn stains without compromising the quality of the fabric.
Linen tablecloths and linens should preferably be washed in the washing machine on a 40°C cycle, using gentle detergents, preferably liquid, specifically designed for colored garments. It is important to avoid the use of bleach, chlorine-based brighteners, and optical brighteners, which could alter the colors and weaken the fiber over time. If your washing machine has a steam cycle, choose this option, as it helps clean more delicately and keeps the fabric softer and shinier.
Spin cycles are the main cause of premature aging of fabrics. To preserve the life of linen, we recommend a light spin cycle, no higher than 400 rpm. If you have time, it's even better to skip this step entirely and let the fabric dry naturally. A too-vigorous spin cycle can create deep creases and stress on the fiber, making ironing more difficult and reducing the garment's lifespan.
The ideal drying method is the traditional one, that is, hanging linen tablecloths and sheets out to dry in the open air, in a shaded, ventilated area. This practice preserves the fabric's natural sheen and minimizes creases, making ironing easier. If using a tumble dryer, it's important to use a low-heat cycle and not let the garment dry completely. Removing it while still slightly damp and hanging it up immediately helps prevent creases and makes ironing easier. A helpful tip is to place 2-3 ice cubes in the tumbler at the beginning of the cycle: the ice helps relax the fabric fibers, making ironing easier and enhancing the linen's sheen.
If you've followed all the previous instructions, ironing becomes quick and easy. We recommend lightly dampening overly dry items with a spray bottle before ironing with a steam iron set to medium-high heat. It's important not to apply too much pressure and to move the iron gently, following the lines of the fabric and the decoration. A well-ironed fabric will have a shinier and more uniform appearance, helping to enhance the design and details of tablecloths or bed linens.
Linen tablecloths, after use, may show stains from wine, coffee, tomato, or sauces. To remove them effectively, we recommend using liquid oxygenated detergents specifically designed for colored fabrics. Simply apply directly to the stain, rub lightly, and leave to act for a few minutes before washing. This ensures a thorough clean without risking damage to the colors or natural fiber. It's important to act promptly, as fresh stains are easier to remove.
Cotton is a very versatile fabric, less susceptible to the effects of spin cycles and drying than linen, thanks to its softer and less "woody" fiber. However, to best maintain the characteristics of all cotton or cotton/linen blend garments, it's advisable to follow the same washing and drying instructions described for linen. If you have a washing machine with a steam cycle and a refresh function, this can be an additional resource for refreshing garments between washes, making ironing even easier and quicker.
A final important recommendation is to avoid subjecting garments to aggressive spin cycles or prolonged drying at high temperatures, as this can weaken the fibers and reduce the fabric's lifespan. With proper care and a few small daily habits, you can keep all your linens in excellent condition, preserving their beauty, colors, and softness over time.
In conclusion, caring for linen and cotton linens requires a few important steps: delicate washing, natural drying, careful ironing, and timely stain treatment. By following these simple tips, your garments will retain their charm and original characteristics, offering an experience of comfort and authentic style every day, while respecting tradition and the environment.
