Before we get started with detailed instructions on how to wash linen, there are a few important things you need to keep in mind to ensure the washing process is as effective as possible. Here are some things to pay attention to to preserve the quality of fabric:

  • Sorting linen: Before washing, sort linen by color and fabric type, because linen is likely to lose color during the first wash. This helps prevent the risk of color fading and helps preserve linen in the best way.
  • Check the label: Always read and follow the care instructions on the product label. These instructions will provide important information about water temperature, detergent type, and other instructions to follow.
  • Choose the right detergent: Choose a detergent suitable for linen items. Avoid using strong detergents that can reduce the durability and discolor the fabric.
  • Clean your washing machine: Before washing linen, make sure your washing machine has been cleaned to prevent dirt or grease from previous washes.
  • Gentle wash or hand wash mode: Choose a gentle wash mode or hand wash if possible, to reduce pressure on fabric fibers and protect the quality of linen. At the same time, it also helps linen clothes maintain their shape longer.
  • Dry in light sunlight: After washing, dry clothes in light sunlight to deodorize and kill bacteria. Avoid exposing clothes to direct sunlight to avoid fading.
  • Store properly: When completely dry, fold the item and store it in a cool place to avoid wrinkling and protect the fabric from the effects of light.
