Linen is a fashionable material that many people prefer because of its natural coolness, but it is difficult to maintain the shape of linen clothes. Remember the following tips:
Avoid twisting too hard
Linen fabric is very cool, but the coarse fiber structure is easily affected by mechanical force. So when you wring it, twist it gently and then hang it up.
When hanging linen clothes, avoid letting the pointed hanger hook poke into the fabric, as it will fray the fabric fibers at the hanging point and cause distortion. Use clips to hang them straight.
Can linen be machine washed?
Linen fabric, like silk, is prone to losing its shape when machine washed. Therefore, hand washing is recommended, especially when the garment has embroidered patterns. If machine washing is necessary, use a laundry bag to maintain the shape of the clothes. Also, separate different types of linen for easier washing.
If your washing machine has a delicate/gentle cycle, use this setting for washing linen. Alternatively, you can choose the wool cycle.
Avoid high temperatures for linen
Because linen fabric tends to shrink, avoid washing it with hot water, exposing it to direct sunlight or high temperatures. When drying linen clothes, choose a cool, well-ventilated area with mild sunlight. Avoid washing linen fabric with hot or cold water; lukewarm water is best.
Avoid strong bleaching for linen
Strong bleaching can fade and age linen. Therefore, reconsider the types of laundry products you use. Also, avoid pouring bleach directly onto the fabric. Instead, dissolve it in water, then add the clothes to prevent discoloration.
