How to care and clean linen-blankets in the correct way

Even, if you use your favourite linen-blanket on a daily basis so it ends up in the washer regularly, this won’t affect neither its durability nor its beauty. As you can wash linen fabrics at sixty degrees or more, even the most persistent stains can be removed easily. Just don’t forget to use a low rotation speed to wash your favourite linen blankets and linen tablecloths, as they are worn out at a high rotation speed. 600 rotations per minute are more than enough. Also forgo softeners, as they attack the fibres of the fabric. Linen fabrics become softer naturally with each washing cycle up to the point where they reach the smoothness of velvet or silk. Furthermore never put linen products into a dryer, instead dry them in fresh air and take them in while they are still a bit wet. Thus the fibres are preserved while ironing and wrinkled linen can be smoothed easier. You’ll be surprised by what a properly maintained linen blanket can bear. 

The optimal size of a linen tablecloth

It is an art itself to find tablecloths with the ideal length. If it is too small, it will get out of place while dining. If it is too big, it appears unnecessarily heavy or may hinder the guests. Only the perfect length enhances the ambience of the dining room and optimizes the dining experience. Therefore the loose-hanging part of a linen tablecloth needs to be in an acceptable scope. The loose-hanging part of a perfectly placed linen tablecloth should be between 25 and 40 centimetres and of equal length on all sides of the table. Thus you can easily measure and calculate the optimal length of your linen tablecloth as follows: measure the length and the width of your dining table and just add the necessary loose-hanging part to each side. In our linen online shop, the size of our linen tablecloths is always listed. If you can’t find a fitting size for your dining table, you can use our individual sewing service to get your personal tablecloth made from antique linen.
