How to Properly Wash Linen Products

General recommendations:
• Linen is highly absorbent – use only a minimal amount of mild detergent.
• Soak the linen item in water before washing.
• Historically, linen was hand-washed in cold streams, contributing to its longevity.
• Use delicate detergent for natural fabrics.
• Wash in a gentle cycle (30°C), max. 400 rpm.
• Do not overload the machine – to prevent creasing.
• Avoid fabric softener – use natural laundry rinse instead.
• Spot clean stains with gall soap.
• Do not tumble dry – air dry flat in the shade.
• Iron while damp or with steam on the highest setting.

Why You Should Avoid Fabric Softener

Fabric softeners coat natural fibers, reducing their absorbency and breathability. This can irritate sensitive skin and diminish textile performance.
We recommend replacing it with a natural laundry rinse, especially for sensitive skin, allergy sufferers, and babies.
It neutralizes detergent residues, restores fiber softness, and prevents graying of fabrics.

LINEN PRODUCTS WITH ANTI-ALLERGY FILLING

BABY NEST:
• Use mild detergent suitable for natural fabrics (⅓ cap).
• No bleach, no softener.
• Pre-wash: rinse gently in lukewarm water by hand.
• For machine washing, place nest alone in drum with ties secured.
• Gentle cycle 30°C, max. 400 rpm.
• After wash, untie, reshape, and dry flat.
• Stains: pre-soak, apply gall soap, hand wash or machine wash.
