Linen Is Sourced From Flax Straw, A Natural Fibre That Is Highly Absorbent. This Means That Sustainable Trousers, Shirts And Tops Made From It Are Prone To Heavy Creasing In The Wash. Give Linen Garments Lots Of Space To Move Around In Your Washing Machine’S Drum And You’Ll Lessen The Risk Of Creasing. Wrinkles Aside, This Might Just Be Our Favourite Sustainable Fabric To Make Summer Fashion Pieces With, Such Is Its Ability To Breathe And Dry Quickly, Just In Case You Get Caught In A Summer Rain Shower. You Will Probably Need To Wash Linen Clothes More Than Those Made From Wool Or Tencel™ Lyocell, Because They Are Not As Naturally Odour-Resistant Or Anti-Bacterial. That Said, We Still Encourage Hand Washing, Spot Cleaning And Natural Airing As Alternatives To Full Machine Washes.
* Hand Wash Or Machine Wash At Low Temperatures Using A Program For Delicates.
Linen Is A Fabric That Was Being Worn By People In Hot Climes Long Before Washing Machines And Tumble Dryers Existed. Perhaps It Is For This Reason That Sustainable Clothes Made From Linen Fibres Do Not React Well To High Temperature Washes And Intensive Spin Cycles. Our Main Garment Care Tip Is For You To Be Gentle To Your Eco-Friendly Linen Trousers, Shorts And Skirts, And They Will Be Gentle In Return.
* Fabric Softener Is Unnecessary.
Just As With Organic Cotton, Linen Is A Natural Fabric Which Does Not Benefit From The Use Of Fabric Softener. Save Your Softener For The Eco-Friendly Clothes In Your Sustainable Wardrobe That Need It!
* Wash As Part Of A Half Load To Prevent Unnecessary Creasing.
Linen Trousers Do Not Like To Have Their Style Cramped. The More Pieces Of Sustainable Clothing You Pack Into The Drum Of Your Washing Machine, The More Likely Those Pieces Will Rub, Crease And Wrinkle. While That Doesn’T Matter For Eco-Friendly Socks Or Sustainable Underwear, You Don’T Want It Happening To That Treasured Linen Dress Or Shirt You Planned To Wear This Weekend. Give Your Sustainable Linen Garments Space And They’Ll Look Better, For Longer.
* Only Use Mild And Eco-Friendly Soap/Detergent.
Linen Is Both Strong And Sensitive. Only Wash It Using Mild, Eco-Friendly Soap/Detergent And You Will Find That It Maintains All Of Its Hallmark Properties For Longer. This Is Because Many Heavy-Duty Detergents Feature Corrosive Synthetic Chemicals That Natural Fabrics Like Linen Are Not A Big Fan Of. So Just Because Your Sustainable Linen Clothes Are Strong, You Should Endeavour To Treat Them With Care.
* To Prevent Creasing, Remove Clothes From The Washing Machine As Soon As A Cycle Ends.
Ever Left A Load Of Damp Washing Lingering At The Bottom Of The Drum For Hours Or Even Days? We Know We Have. This Is Not Ideal For Sustainable Clothes Made From Linen, Which Crease If Left Crushed Beneath A Heap Of Sodden Clothing.
* Air Dry.
When A Fabric Is Made From Natural Straw, Which Is In Its Element Drifting In A Breeze, It Makes Sense That Eco-Friendly Clothing Made From It Prefers To Be Air Dried On A Line. Our Garment Care Tip Is, If Possible, To Ensure That Your Sustainable Trousers, Ethical Tops And Bottoms Air Dry Out Of Direct Sunlight, Which Can Sometimes Cause Linen Garments To Fade. Also Give Garments A Good Shake Before Putting Them Out To Dry, As This Will Reduce Creasing And Wrinkles. 
* Avoid Tumble Drying. 
It Is Always Best To Dry Linen Garments Naturally. This Is Because Shrinkage Can Occur When They Are Tumble Dried. If You Do Tumble Dry Linen Garments, Remove Them From The Machine When They’Re Still Slightly Humid To Avoid The Linen Becoming Stiff. Hang Them Or Lie Them Flat To Finish The Drying Process.
* For Best Results, Iron Or Steam Linen Garments While They Are Still Damp. 
Linen Is Not Known For Its Flexibility, Which Means It Is Prone To Wrinkles And Creases. However, This Often Adds To Its Charm. If Wrinkles Have Really Gotten Out Of Hand, Our Top Garment Care Tip Is: Steam Or Iron Sustainable Clothes While They Are Still A Little Damp. If The Garment Has Fully Dried Out But You Still Wish To Iron It, Give It A Little Spray Of Water To Dampen It Once More. Be Gentle When Ironing, Otherwise You May Damage Linen Fibres.
* More Structured Garments (Sustainable Jackets) Or Pieces Prone To Wrinkles Can Benefit From Dry Cleaning.
Dry Cleaning Processes Can Sometimes Suit Linen Garments, Because They Rely On Solvents Instead Of Intensive Water Usage And Spin Cycles. These Specialist Solvents Are Designed To Protect The Weave Of Your Linen Jackets Or Trousers. However, We Only Advise Taking Your Garments To The Dry Cleaners When Absolutely Necessary. Many Of The Solvents Used In Dry Cleaning Processes Are Not Eco-Friendly, Although There Are “Wet Process” Dry Cleaners And Co2 Dry Cleaners That May Be More Eco-Friendly Options If They Exist In Your Neighbourhood.
* Store Your Linen Garments In A Cool, Dry Place. Avoid Plastic Bags, Cardboard Boxes And Cedar Chests.
The Best Cool, Dry Place To Store Your Sustainable Linen Garments Is In Your Cupboard, Preferably Hanging On A Wooden Hanger. Avoid Wire Or Plastic Hangers Which Can Deform Clothing Over Time. A Great Garment Care Tip To Remember Is To Make Sure Your Eco-Friendly Clothes Hang Freely, So They Maintain Their Shape And Don’T Crease.
