The Care Guide
Discover the top tips from our studio designers on taking care of your pieces - designed to be lived with, they are created to soften beautifully over time and last for years to come.
STEP 1:
WASHING
Machine wash linen at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that may damage the natural fibres.
Wash with similar colours and avoid overloading the machine so the fabric can move freely.
During washing, excess fluff can be released, which can be brushed away with a soft brush or shaken off outdoors
Remember is that unwashed linen shrinks in hot water, between 3–6%.
STEP 2:
STAINS
Grease stains:
Dampen the stain with water and apply a small amount of liquid dish soap or laundry detergent directly to the area. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before washing.
Tomato or curry stains:
If the stain remains after washing, place the item in direct sunlight for a day. The UV rays will naturally help bleach the stain away.
STEP 3:
DRYING
Linen is best air dried. Shake the fabric lightly before hanging it to help smooth the fibres.
A tumble dryer can be used on low heat to create softness and create a relaxed look. But eep in mind that it wears on the fibers and air drying will help preserve the fabric longer.
STEP 4:
IRONING
Iron linen while it is slightly damp for best results.
Use medium to high heat, preferably with steam. The natural texture of linen means a little wrinkling is part of its character.
STEP 5:
CARE
Linen is a natural material that becomes softer and more beautiful over time. With proper care, your Bylinen pieces are designed to be used and enjoyed for many years.
