If you want that your linen clothes should last for a much longer time and always remain beautiful, then ensure that you take a very good care of them. Mind you, it is not a time consuming task at all.

Proper care will ensure that they will sustain their beauty with time. If you will use improper products like bleach and over wash them again and again, then you will apply the most 'common cause' of damage to them. Follow these general tips and implement them in your day to day life to make sure that your linens remain as fresh as always.

  • Organize your wardrobe: Spare a few minutes and organize your closet properly. It will not only increase their life, but also let you choose your favorite outfit at the right time when you need them.
  • You must have a basic knowledge of how to take proper care of different fabrics, with respect to the different products that we use to wash them.
  • Learn how to remove stains. Some of them are really very common and easy to remove. It is recommended that you should first try to remove the stain and then wash the cloth. Never wash it first and then try to remove the bad spot. In most cases, washing can lead to cause the stain to last forever. You must use a high quality stain remover and apply it on the spot.
  • Washing:
  • When you buy a bed sheet or a curtain or any linen product, you must read the specific care instructions, which should match the fabric of the item purchased.
  • Mostly bed sheets are made up of natural fabrics. Most of them come with an instruction of “machine wash.” If your linen products, specially bedsheets are embroidered or has a work of “appliqué” done on them, then you must apply a mix of treatment like selecting a “GENTLE” wash cycle. You must stop the spin cycle in between, to avoid any damage to the “appliqué.”
  • A neutral beauty soap is highly recommended over a bleach.
  • Special tips:
         i.It is really important that you make the bed everyday. Don't you know that your pillows stay      under pressure for so many hours? It is very important to fluff them, so that the fabrics inside can breathe again. This will not only keep your pillows soft and cozy but will ensure a good restfull sleep also.
        ii.You must refresh your bedsheets everyday. This will allow the linens to take fresh air inside. If you don't have any allergic problem, then apply a delicate cloud of disinfectant linen sprays to the sheets. It will give a unique kind of sensation and an entirely fresh feeling everyday.
       iii.If you wish to wash your linen clothes at home, then you must know that linen has to be washed in cold water. A neutral laundry soap should be used to wash them.
       iv.The action of the agitator or a long and heavy spin cycle or usage or 'hot” water will shorten the life span of the fabric by breaking them and fading the original color.
       v.Never use high temperature while drying your linens. They should be ironed when still damped. Make sure that you use a steam iron which is set to the linen temperature.
vi.If you are storing your white linens somewhere, make sure you you always use a bag made up of white cotton.
