Learn how to wash linen clothes
Linen clothing is ideal for warm days, highly breathable, durable and versatile. An essential material in any wardrobe, linen is a classic and timeless choice, perfect for any occasion, from the most formal to the most casual, such as a trip to the beach.
But how do you properly care for your linen pieces? After all, it would be good if they lasted a long time.
Here on our blog, you will discover how to extend the life of your linen items, keeping them looking like new.
Washing, drying or ironing linen clothes is simpler than you think. Let's get to the tips!
First of all, it is very important for you to know that, like all natural fabrics, linen is susceptible to shrinkage if not washed properly. Therefore, when washing linen clothes, choose to hand wash in cold water.
If you prefer to wash your linen clothes in the washing machine, use the delicate cycle, using only a mild liquid detergent. Oh, and don't use bleach.
JOANNE pieces come with washing instructions on the composition label sewn on the back. Always read the labels carefully before the first wash to ensure their durability.
Not all linen items are made the same way and some may require special care, as is the case with JOANNE's hand-embroidered linen shirts, which must be washed by hand.
After washing, do not twist the linen items; squeeze them gently to remove excess water, then hang them in a ventilated place.
And make sure they are completely dry before ironing or storing them.
If you notice any stains on the item, try to remove them using a mixture of detergent and warm water directly on the stained area. Apply this mixture, massaging the area gently and leaving it to act for five minutes. Then rinse the entire item with clean water.
When ironing, it is also important to pay attention to the warnings on the composition label of your JOANNE item. Adjust the temperature of your iron as indicated. In general, linen clothes are ironed at a lower temperature than other fabrics.
Also be careful not to iron over the buttons, as this can damage them. And preferably, store your linen pieces hanging on hangers and away from light to prevent them from fading.
We are sure that with these tips you will keep your JOANNE linen pieces looking perfect and new for much longer.
A big kiss,
JOANNE
