Linen Care Instructions
Stain Removal
Use a clean, moist cloth to dab liquid stains immediately. Use a blunt knife to scratch off any dirt that flakes off. Rinse the stain from underneath with running water. Soak the textile in cold water to remove the stain. If the stain cannot be removed, rub some enzyme containing liquid detergent and continue soaking. Rub the stain lightly every now and then.
Spray stain remover on any old/deep-seated stains and let it take effect according to the instructions on the packaging. Wash according to care instructions. Difficult stains can be washed using 80 degree washing cycle. White linen textiles may be bleached using chlorine bleach. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
100% linen
Wash linen textiles in plenty of water separate from other washing, in 40 degrees using a gentle washing cycle. Do not spin or tumble-dry linen textiles. Reshape whilst damp (stretch evenly lengthwise). Line dry in room temperature as linen should not be dried too fast. If it gets completely dry, spray it with water, roll it and put it into a plastic bag for several hours until the moisture has seeped evenly into the fibre. Iron or mangle the textile in the direction of the warp. 100% linen shrinks about 7 % in the first wash.
Half Linen(50%linen/50%cotton)

Cotton Textiles
Wash cotton textiles in a plenty of water in 60 degrees using a slow cycle. Avoid spinning since this will crease the fabric. Reshape textiles when wet.

Cotton textiles shrink about 10% in the first wash.
Linen Terry
Wash new linen terry textiles before use. Wash in 40 degrees, in plenty of water and separate from other laundry. Do not use fabric conditioner. Use a light spin and reshape the textiles whilst damp.
