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.
European Flax
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.
Washing Linen
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.
Drying Linen
Hang in the Shade
Direct sun can fade linen’s natural colors. Always hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
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.
Keeping Linen Crisp
Iron When Damp
For that fresh, pressed look, iron your linen while slightly damp using a medium-hot iron on the reverse side.
Steam to Refresh
Between washes, use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles and restore the fabric's clean lines.
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.
