Summer linen is a staple for those warm, breezy days, offering comfort and a touch of elegance. However, keeping your linen fresh and crisp requires a bit of special care. 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 and maintain its natural fibres. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach, as it can weaken the fabric and cause discoloration. If you’re short on time or want to ensure your linen gets the best care, Sweepsouth offers specialised laundry services to keep your linen looking pristine.
2. Avoid over-drying.
Over-drying can lead to wrinkles and make your linen feel stiff. Air drying is the best option, as it preserves the fabric’s softness and prevents creases. If you use a dryer, opt for a low heat setting and remove the linen while it’s still slightly damp to minimise wrinkling. For a professional touch, Sweepsouth’s laundry experts can handle your linen with care, ensuring it’s dried perfectly every time.
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. Our team 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 and placing it in a cool, dry place. Use breathable storage bags to protect it from dust and moisture. Sweepsouth can assist with seasonal deep cleaning and storage preparation, ensuring your summer linen is in perfect condition when you need it.
5. Spot treat stains immediately.
Accidents happen, but quick action can save your linen from permanent stains. Blot (don’t rub) spills immediately and treat stains with a gentle, stain-specific solution. If you’re dealing with a stubborn stain, Sweepsouth’s stain removal services can tackle the tough spots, preserving the beauty of your linen.
