To Wash, To Fold, To Love – How to Care for Camélia Bed Linens

At Camélia, our pillowcases and duvet covers are crafted from pure linen—a natural fabric we love for its breathability, softness, and timeless charm. With gentle care, linen only becomes softer and more beautiful over time.

Here’s how to take care of your linen bedding so it stays fresh, comfortable, and long-lasting.

1. Gentle Washing

• Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water
• Use a mild, bleach-free detergent
• Wash light and dark colors separately
• For embroidered items, place in a mesh laundry bag or hand wash

Tip: Avoid harsh detergents or softeners—they can weaken natural fibers.

2. Drying Linen Bedding

• Air drying is best. Hang or lay flat in the shade to prevent shrinking and fading
• If using a dryer, select low heat and remove while slightly damp
• Avoid over-drying, which can make linen feel stiff

3. Ironing or Steaming

• Iron your linen bedding while still slightly damp using medium heat
• For embroidered areas, iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth
• Linen naturally has a relaxed look—so ironing is optional!

Tip: A steamer is a great way to smooth wrinkles without flattening the texture.

4. Keeping It Fresh Between Washes

• Let your bedding air out regularly
• Light misting with linen spray can help maintain freshness
• Rotate pillow cases and covers weekly for even wear

5. Storing Linen Bedding

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight
• Use cotton or muslin bags instead of plastic to let the fabric breathe
• Fold neatly or roll to avoid deep creases, especially with embroidery

Final Thought

Linen is a living fabric—it softens, breathes, and ages beautifully with care. By treating it gently, your Camélia bedding will bring comfort and quiet luxury to your daily rest for years to come.
