Well, it doesn’t take much time to pick this season’s fabrics by VIVRA.
As there’s no doubt that one of the most appreciated and durable materials is linen, which comes from nature and is only treated with high-quality materials, it can last you for years.
Actually, It is natural, strong, and high quality. Its durability, breathability, and resistance to bacteria set linen apart from other natural fibers.
Although linen gets unbelievably wrinkly after washing, it does not require any special treatment like dry cleaning. In fact, taking care of it is easier than it seems.
Also, Linen fabric can be washed in a washing machine or hand-washed using regular washing detergent. It dries even faster than most other fabrics!
So here are some tips and tricks from VIVRA to maintain our linens.
1. Separate white, dark, and colored linens. For the best results, turn linens inside out and wash them separately from other fabrics.
2. It’s important to avoid mixing heavy items like jeans, hoodies, or towels in a load of linen textiles.
3. Wash in lukewarm water (<40°C/104°F). High temperatures may cause shrinkage of up to 10% and weaken the linen fiber.
4. Use the gentle machine cycle and don’t overload your washing machine.
5. Avoid detergents that contain substances like Sodium Borate, Sodium Hydroxide, Cellulase, Protease, and Amylase. Don’t bleach.
6. To hand-wash linen garments, start by soaking the garment in cool water with a mild detergent for about 15 minutes. Then, gently rub the stained area with your hands to loosen any dirt or debris. Rinse the clothing in cool water and hang it up to dry.
N.B: The best way to remove a sweat stain is to pre-treat it with a laundry detergent or enzymatic cleaner before you wash it.
Thus, Enjoy VIVRA’s new collection of linen and spread your summer wings.
