<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Separate linens from other items in the wash - especially polyester which tends to create pilling, and items with heavy zippers, which can damage the fabric
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Do not overload the washing machine, as it can break down fibres from excessive abrasion and agitation
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Wash in cold water with non-chlorine bleach detergent on a gentle cycle with a cold water rinse.
</li>
</ul>
Detergent
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Use an eco friendly mild, non-alkaline liquid detergent without added bleach or whiteners as they can also weaken and discolour certain fabric fibres
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Do not pour detergent directly on linens. Instead, add it to the water as the wash tub fills or dilute with water, then add linens
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
We recommend using a eucalyptus based detergent such as wool wash which you can find in your local supermarket for your TENCEL&#x2122; lyocell sheets
</li>
</ul>
Fabric softener
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
While most bed linen do not require fabric softeners, some fabrics like our French Linen, it is recommended to use fabric softener.&#xA0;
</li>
</ul>
Stains
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Clean stains as quickly as possible.
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Do not strenuously scrub the stain away, we recommend gently soak, wash or blot it out.
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Remember once a stain is truly set, it is often difficult to remove
</li>
</ul>
Bleaching
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Do not use chlorine bleach - it can weaken fibres and cause them to yellow prematurely
</li>
</ul>
Drying
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Line drying is recommended., however do not leave sheets on the clothesline or in direct sun for a prolonged period as natural fibres are susceptible to sun bleaching.
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Some of our ranges may suggest tumble dried if required. Please select the gentle setting with low temperature (do not use a high/ hot setting as this will damage the fibre). If it states do not tumble dry, please do not tumble dry as it can cause shrinkage.
</li>
</ul>
Ironing
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
If you do choose to iron your item, we recommend that you use your iron the reverse on a warm setting. Please avoid ironing directly on any decorative panels, studs or buttons.
</li>
</ul>
Chemicals&#xA0;
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Some hair and skin products may cause discolouration and pilling of linens (eg hair or body oils, heavy creams and especially specific acne lotions or toothpastes that contain oxidising agents such as peroxide and other bleaching properties ), be careful as the chemicals in these can stain or strip the colour off your sheets.
</li>
</ul>
Storage
<ul class="pl-5 text-left ul-list-style">
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Store linens in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
</li>
<li class="font-sans text-md font-weight-body text-inherit my-2">
Ensure the sheets are completely dry before storing.
</li>
</ul>

What else can I do to better care for my Le Linen sheets?

Linen is a great fabric to sleep in all year round. Due to the thermo regulating properties of flax, it will naturally provide warmth in winter and coolness in the summer.
