Pretreatment of Stains

Local stains: For local stains, such as oil stains, sweat stains, etc., you can first apply a small amount of detergent to the stain. For example, if it is a food oil stain, you can put a clean cloth on the back of the stain, and then use a soft brush to dip a small amount of detergent on the front and gently scrub it. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the fiber.
Old stains: For more stubborn old stains, soak the stained part of the clothes in warm water with detergent (the water temperature is about 30-40℃) for about 15-20 minutes, and then proceed with subsequent washing.

Washing & Storage

STEP 1

Pour an appropriate amount of warm water (30-40℃) into a basin, add neutral detergent, and gently stir to allow the detergent to fully dissolve. Put the linen clothing in the water and soak for 10-15 minutes. During the soaking process, you can turn the clothes over appropriately so that the detergent acts evenly on all parts of the clothes. Gently squeeze and rub the clothes with your hands, focusing on the collar, cuffs, hem, and other parts that are easy to get dirty.
Rinse the clothes with clean water at about 30℃. Generally, you need to rinse 2-3 times until the water is clear and there is no foam. Make sure all detergents are thoroughly rinsed off.

STEP 2

After washing, you can gently squeeze the clothes to remove most of the water. Hang the linen clothes in a well-ventilated place to dry, avoiding direct sunlight. You can also choose a well-ventilated place indoors. During the drying process, the clothes should be shaped, wrinkles should be smoothed, and the original shape of the clothes should be maintained. If it is a dress or other shaped clothes, the hem and other parts should be arranged to prevent deformation after drying.

STEP 3

Linen clothes may have some wrinkles after drying. When ironing, adjust the iron temperature to the appropriate gear, generally choose medium temperature. Before ironing, you can spray some clean water on the clothes, or put a damp soft cloth between the iron and the clothes, so that the wrinkles can be ironed better and the clothes can be avoided from being burned. Start ironing from the reverse side of the garment, then iron the front side as needed, and pay attention to the direction of ironing, generally ironing in the direction of the garment's grain.

Storage
Linen garments are recommended to be folded for storage. When folding linen garments, try to fold them as flatly as possible, following the original shape and lines of the garment. You can first lay the garment flat, smooth out the wrinkles, then fold the two sides toward the middle, and finally fold it up and down to the appropriate size and put it in the wardrobe.
Linen garments are best stored in an environment with moderate temperature and relatively low humidity, avoiding direct sunlight. You can open the wardrobe or storage box appropriately to allow air circulation and keep the garment in a good environment. This will help extend the life of linen garments.
