      Taking care of your Linen


     Linen

     Bed linen should be washed at least once a week, especially if slept in every night. Our bed linen is not pre-shrunk and may seem slightly too big before the first wash. All our linen is made from 100% cotton percale with a 200 thread count.



     Please take care when washing as too high a temperature can cause excessive shinkage. We recommend that all our linen be washed at a temperature no higher than 40°C. You do not need to boil fine linen to acheive good results. We reccomend using a fabric softner in your wash, as it keeps the fibres soft and smooth and makes ironing easier. Tumble Drying is not recommended as too high a temperature will cause shinkage. For best results when ironing, iron your linen while still slightly damp. Remember to stretch and re-shape the linen from corner to corner before allowing to dry properly.

     Towels

     All our towels are 525g 100% Cotton Machine wash towels at a maximum of 60°C Do not use bleach. Use a small amount of fabric softner in the wash, this helps to improve absorbency. Remember to stretch out and re-shape the towels from corner to corner while still damp. Take care not to over dry the towels in the tumble dryer as this makes them hard and brittle.
