How To Care For Linen
Learn the art of preserving your linen’s natural beauty—from how to wash and dry it to keeping it crisp and vibrant over time.
Solino Home linen is made from 100% European Flax, grown in the coastal regions of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands—an area renowned for its ideal climate and rich soil. It’s traceable, sustainable, and softens beautifully with every use. Naturally breathable and long-lasting, it’s designed to be lived in and loved over time. Perfect for both everyday moments and special gatherings.
Keep it Cold
Hot water can weaken fibers and lead to shrinkage. Always wash your linen in cold water—either alone or with other lightweight, delicate fabrics.
Gentle Cycle Only
Choose a delicate cycle to prevent agitation damage. Over time, this helps maintain your linen's texture and softness.
Use a Mild Detergent
Opt for a detergent that’s free of bleach, brighteners, and optical whiteners. Look for plant-based, pH-neutral formulas designed for natural fibers.
Hang in the Shade
Direct sun can fade linen’s natural colors. Always hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. This helps preserve the fabric’s texture while preventing stiffness and uneven fading.
Avoid the Dryer
High heat can shrink and damage the fibers. If needed, tumble dry on low for just a few minutes, then lay flat or hang to finish. Removing linen while slightly damp helps maintain its shape and natural softness.
Iron When Damp
For that fresh, pressed look, iron your linen while slightly damp using a medium-hot iron on the reverse side. This allows the fibers to relax naturally, making wrinkles easier to smooth without stressing the fabric.
Steam to Refresh
Between washes, use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles and restore the fabric's clean lines. Steaming also helps revive linen’s natural drape while extending time between washes.
Follow these tips to extend the life of your linen. With just a little care, your favorite pieces will become softer, stronger, and more beautiful over time.
