How can I wash my linen sheets for extra cleanliness?

Since we opened our online store , we have always indicated that washing should be done at a maximum of 40 degrees due to the danger of discoloration of the fabric. In addition, if you wash this fabric very frequently at a very high temperature, you could damage the fiber and the piece would not last in as good condition as when you bought it.

For WHITE linen sheets you can wash at 60 degrees without any problem, since they are white (that is, neutral) you will not have any problems. Remember to wash them alone or with some towels but also white. If you have our linen sheets in another color, can you wash at a maximum of 60 degrees? We have always recommended that it not be done because the original color of the linen can be lost with such hot water washes, but if you have the need to do it... GO! The sheets will not get any smaller, but they may lose their color a bit.

Take care of yourselves! A hug,
