Summer linen is a staple for warm, breezy days, offering comfort and a touch of elegance. Here’s how to maintain your summer linen and ensure it stays in top condition, with a little help from Sweepsouth’s cleaning services.
1. Wash with care
Linen is a delicate fabric that benefits from gentle handling. Always wash your summer linen in cold water to prevent shrinking. For best results:
- Avoid bleach, as it can weaken the fabric and cause discolouration.
- Use a mild detergent and a mild cycle.
2. Avoid over-drying
Over-drying can lead to wrinkles and make your linen feel stiff. Air drying is the best option. If you use a dryer, opt for a low heat setting and remove the linen while it’s still slightly damp to minimise wrinkling.
3. Iron for a crisp finish
For a polished look, iron your linen while it’s still damp. Set your iron to a medium heat and use steam to smooth out wrinkles. If ironing isn’t your forte, or you simply don’t have the time, let Sweepsouth step in. We connect you with professionals who can handle the pressing for you, leaving your linen flawless and ready to use.
4. Store property
When summer ends, store your linen properly to keep it fresh for next year. Make sure it’s clean and dry before folding it neatly. Use breathable storage bags to protect it from dust and moisture in a cool, dry place.
5. Spot treat stains immediately
Accidents happen, but quick action can save your linen from permanent stains. Spot treat stains immediately by blotting (don’t rub) spills and treating stains with a gentle, stain-specific solution. Sweepsouth’s stain removal services can tackle the tough spots, preserving the beauty of your linen.
