Linen is very breathable which makes it great for the warm summer months. To make sure your favourite linen item stays with you for many summers, avoid tumble drying as it shortens the life of the fabric. Also, never use bleach with the fabric as it can ruin the colour of dyed linen.
Did you know that cotton clothes can actually be washed, dried and heated several times without any notable marks? But instead of bleaching it, you can easily use lemon juice for stains and vinegar for bad smells. This benefits both your clothes and the environment.
