Caring for your Linen Cushions

Linen cushions add a touch of elegance and comfort to any space.

However, proper care is essential to maintain their beauty and longevity. In this guide, we'll share expert tips on how to keep your linen cushion covers looking fresh for years to come.

1. Gentle Spot Cleaning: Before diving into a full wash, address stains promptly. Gently blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Treat stains with a mild detergent or stain remover, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the delicate fibres or embroidery.
   
   
2. Hand Wash for TLC: For the utmost care, hand washing is recommended. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a mild detergent - we prefer natural and fragrance free. Gently swish the water to combine the detergent and water, before immersing the cushion cover. Allow it to soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen dirt and stains. Rinse thoroughly with cool, clean water and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
   
   
3. Line Dry or Lay Flat: After washing, air dry your linen cushion covers by hanging them on a clothesline or laying them flat on a clean surface. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Linen dries relatively quickly, so you won't have to wait long before reassembling your cushions. 
   
   
4. Iron with Caution: If wrinkling occurs, iron the covers on the reverse side using the linen setting on your iron. Place a clean cloth or pressing cloth over the embroidered design to protect it from direct heat. You can also help avoid ironing by straightening the cover out when you hang or lay it to dry. Gently pull the corners and use your hands to flatten it out. 
   
   
5. Store with Love: When not in use, store your linen cushion covers in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture; opt for breathable cotton bags or pillowcases instead.

By following these simple yet effective care tips, you can preserve the beauty and quality of your linen cushion covers for years to come. Remember, proper maintenance not only prolongs the life of your décor but also enhances its cosy charm.
