Light Grey French Linen Standard Housewife Pillowcase Pair

Care

• 1
  Pull back the covers
  Keep things healthy by pulling back your duvet to air your bed whilst you're getting ready for the day. This helps excess moisture to evaporate so your bed stays fresher and cleaner.
• 2
  Wash regularly
  Keep your bed clean and fresh by changing and washing your bedlinen regularly. Once a week should do the trick. You can wash this bedlinen at 40°C, although we'd recommend you wash it at 30°C for a greener way to stay clean.
• 3
  Hang to dry
  Do your bit for our planet and dry your bedlinen by hanging it to dry out of direct sunlight. It will dry best on an outside washing line. If time or space is tight, this bedlinen can also be tumble-dried. You'll have fewer creases to deal with if you remove your bedlinen from the drier while slightly damp and then hang it to air dry.

  Take it easy
  The beauty of linen is that it comes into its own when left unironed for a stylishly crumpled look. If you prefer a slightly smarter look then iron whilst slightly damp.
• 5
  Check your detergent
  Always use the best detergent for the product you are washing. If you're washing white bedlinen we'd recommend powdered detergents. If you're washing coloured bedlinen, we'd recommend you use a washing gel/liquid or a detergent suitable for coloured fabrics.

  Keep it simple
  Never, ever use bleach on your beautiful linen bedding. Bleach breaks linen fibres and will shorten the life of your bedlinen. Avoid detergents and stain removers containing optical brighteners - they create an optical illusion that changes the appearance of the colour. It's not just detergents that can affect your bedlinen; some creams and facewashes contain chemicals that will bleach your bedlinen, such as benzoyl peroxide. Suncream and bronzers can also stain your bedsheets; having a shower before bed to remove skin products will help your bedlinen stay looking good for longer.
