Care Guide
A Lifetime of Linen
How to wash, dry and live with Belgian linen so it ages the way it was meant to.
Read the label first
Linen products can differ in construction, dyes, finishes and blends. The manufacturer's care label should always take priority over general advice. Upholstery covers may not be removable or machine washable, even when the fabric contains linen.
Wash gently when permitted
For washable linen, follow the stated temperature and cycle instructions. Separate colors and avoid overloading the machine. Use a suitable mild detergent and avoid bleach unless the care label specifically allows it.
Dry with care
Check whether tumble drying is permitted and use the recommended setting. Air drying may suit some items, but protect colored fabrics from prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid excessive heat, which can shrink or damage some fabrics.
Keep the relaxed texture
Linen naturally develops creases. If you prefer a smoother finish, iron only when the care instructions allow it. For upholstered furniture, address spills promptly according to the manufacturer's guidance and seek professional cleaning when required.
