Our linen care guide
Follow these simple steps to make your linen pieces last for years to come.
STEP 1
Choose a mild and preferably organic washing detergent when machine-washing your piece.
STEP 2
Wash your piece at max. 30°C and on a gentle wash cycle (400-600 RPM).
This is especially important when washing natural fibers like linen as a high spin speed breaks the fabric's fibers and the garment will lose softness.
STEP 3
Let your piece air-dry - the environment with thank you for your patience.
STEP 4
Embrace wrinkles - that's just the nature of linen.
STEP 5
For the perfectionists: handwash your piece to reduce wrinkles.
Rinse it in cool water and allow it to dry flat or placed on a hanger - avoid twisting it. Iron it inside-out on a high-heat setting. Give your piece some time to cool before storing it.
STEP 5
Close the loop
Should you ever want to get rid of your arkitaip-piece, please send it back to us (we'll pay for the postage!). In return, you'll get £50 worth of credit to spend on our website. We promise to make sure to close the garment's lifecycle by either recycling it or by finding a new owner.
