Care instruction for our linen shirts

**Washing:**

• Wash linen with quality detergent: eco-friendly with a short list of ingredients. This simple tip is the key to keeping linen bright.

• Do not mix colors.

• Use a fabric softener if your water is hard.

• Wash your linen at a low temperature or by hand.

• Gentle spin speed: 600 rpm.

• Avoid soaking linen as it may cause yellowing or fading. When hand washing, soak briefly.

  **Stain Removal:**

• To clean yellowed collars or underarms on white linen, sprinkle the stain with baking soda. Spray with a little water to help the baking soda penetrate the fibers. Squeeze a lemon and dip a soft brush into the lemon juice. Gently scrub the stain with the lemon juice. Then wash in the machine.

• Machine wash at a maximum of 50°C for stubborn stains.

  **Drying:**

• Do not tumble dry linen, as it will damage the fibers.

• Once your laundry is out of the washing machine, stretch it out and delicately hang it on a clothesline.

• Do not dry colored linen in direct sunlight as it may cause colors to fade.

• Conversely, sunlight is the best ally for white linen! Let white linen dry in the sun for a few days to restore its brightness.

  **Ironing:**

• Iron linen when it is still slightly damp, as this makes it easier to iron out wrinkles and prevents burning the fibers, which could scorch the linen.

• Iron on the reverse side.
