Here are our little tips for maintaining your household linen according to the fabric.
Washed linen and cotton gauze:
When you want to wash washed linen bed linen (linen duvet cover, sheets, pillowcases etc.), you can wash up to 60 degrees in the washing machine. You can go that high because washed linen is raw linen stretched in special machines or with lava stones.
Linen becomes very soft and pre-shrunk. The fact that linen is washed means that it will no longer shrink (unlike raw linen); on the contrary, it will tend to expand a little at first.
Caring for your bed linen gcotton aze will be the same as washed linen:
For the range Dili from the Harmony brand
For example, don't worry if your washed linen or washed cotton duvet cover becomes a little bigger than your duvet. All materials move a little in one direction or another and in this case washed materials move by expanding slightly (a few centimeters at most).
The advantage of having washed linen or washed cotton duvets is that they become softer and softer over time and the colors fade.
If you have a dryer, you can use it, otherwise you can let them air dry. By hanging them well, there is no need to iron them. The slightly wrinkled appearance gives this little bohemian chic side.
Regarding a washed linen curtain like the curtains of the brand " Epic, Dune " or the curtains Porticcio from the Haomy brand, you have to wash them at a maximum of 30 degrees with a small spin because you have eyelets on these two models. They must not rust or tear from the curtain.
For the model Luri, you just have to remove the rings/clips, and you can wash them up to 60 degrees (first wash cold so that the black crochet doesn't fade) since there are no eyelets on this washed linen curtain.
So anything related to washed linen: linen quilt, linen set, linen cushion, linen tablecloth… you can follow the advice in the paragraphs above.
Cotton velvet:
As for cotton velvet (we do not sell polyester velvet), we would advise for any item: velvet cushion, velvet quilt, velvet curtain… to wash in cold water, either by hand or by machine.
Cotton velvet on the other hand should not stretch or shrink because it is made of hairs that make up the velvet.
Example of velvet range: new Delhi of the brand Haomy, Medici from the brand En fil d'Indenne, Elise from the Vivaraise brand.
We have recently started offering the curtain Duo from the brand in Indian thread, velvet and linen.
