FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Product Care
Please remember our products are handcrafted, not mass produced by machinery; their longevity will benefit from being cared for in the most delicate manner possible.
Washing
Our linen is 100% cotton and should be warm gentle machine washed at a maximum of 40 degrees. Whites should be washed separately from coloured fabrics. Do not bleach. Bleaching and harsh detergents could damage the embroidery. Wash duvet covers inside out.
Drying
Line drying in fresh air is recommended. Fold when removing from the line to minimise creasing. Our products can be tumble dried at a low heat setting.
Ironing
Use a warm iron, or the cotton setting on your iron. Best results are obtained by ironing linen while still slightly damp with a steam iron. If the fabric is too dry, spray with a little water before ironing. Iron on the reverse side of embroidery or inside out to protect the embroidery.
Drycleaning
Indian Summer Linen products are dry cleanable.
Storage
Linen should be thoroughly dry before storage as it can be prone to mildew if stored damp. Ensure your linen is kept in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.
