Washing & Caring for Linen Bedding – Instructions for Maximum Durability

An important fact: Up to two-thirds of the CO₂ footprint of clothing and home textiles is generated only after purchase – i.e., in the everyday use. This may be surprising, but it's a great opportunity: many of the crucial steps are in your hands. And the best part? It's easier than you think.

Here's how you can easily make a difference:

WASH COLD
Gently wash your linen laundry with similar colors at 30 degrees. Low temperatures save energy and at the same time extend the life of the fibers – heat unnecessarily stresses them. Simply switching from hot to warm water can save up to 200 kg of CO₂ per year.

AVOID THE DRYER
It's best to air-dry linen. This protects the fibers and preserves the quality of your bedding for a long time. Even if textiles are air-dried for part of the year, unnecessary emissions can be avoided.
If you still use a tumble dryer, choose a low temperature and short drying times. Dryers put more strain on natural fibers – including linen – and can significantly shorten their lifespan.

AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Prolonged, direct sunlight can fade colors. A shady, well-ventilated spot is ideal.

DO NOT IRON
Linen is allowed to wrinkle. This natural texture is part of its character and timeless charm. Ironing is not necessary – and also saves energy.

ROTATE LINEN
We recommend using at least two fitted sheets per set and changing them regularly. Fitted sheets are subjected to particularly heavy wear; by rotating them, each one lasts significantly longer.

FIBER SHEDDING
Slight fiber shedding is completely normal with linen, especially at the beginning. As it softens, excess fibers detach. Darker colors may shed more initially due to the higher amount of dye used. Additional cold washes can accelerate this process.

ABOUT LINEN BEDDING
Linen is a material for all seasons. In winter, thanks to its natural insulating properties, it retains body heat, while in summer it has a cooling and breathable effect. Moisture is quickly absorbed and released – for a pleasant, dry sleeping climate.
With proper care, linen bedding can last for several decades. And over time, it not only becomes softer but also more beautiful. A material that lives – and matures with you.
