Special Considerations With Linen

w/e 11/11/24

Linen is a natural fibre made from the Flax plant, which can be made into various weights and thicknesses of fabric. It is naturally beige/off white in colour but can be dyed easily as it's cellulose and similar to cotton. Although similar, it's actually a much longer fibre than cotton and a natural characteristic is to develop slubs (irregular thickness) which leads to a slightly irregular look to the surface of linen fabrics.

Various problems occur with linen, the most notable of which are as follows:

Ironing

When ironing silk it's important to think about the job before starting. For example, if you don't want to iron a crease into a sleeve then you need something to put into the arms to help you iron correctly. You may have a sleeve board or you can improvise, even using a wrapped Pringle (potato chip) can, into the sleeve to iron against so you don't have a crease.

To finish iron with a hot iron but be careful not to shine seams, including darts and waist bands. It's best if you either iron inside out or cover the seams with a damp lint free cloth before applying the iron. However, make certain that all the fabric underneath is flat so you don't create a crease, which may damage the fabric beyond repair.

Creasing

Linen creases very easily and is often stiffened when manufactured to reduce this. That stiffening can be removed by cleaning and a garment may appear "limp" after cleaning.

Just normal wearing is likely to crease linen, especially in areas where you get hot, behind your knees, by your elbows and around your crotch area.

Abrasion Resistance

Linen can be damaged easily by rubbing. This can lead to clothing looking old, especially in areas like elbows, knees and fly areas, where rubbing naturally occurs.

Due to linen being affected badly by abrasion stain removal has to be done very carefully, so lightly tamp the fabric to reduce the action. Always treat and remove water based stains before the fabric is cleaned, ensuring that any treated area is dry before cleaning, otherwise you could leave rings or even remove colour.

Loss of Dyes

Any area of wear can lead to a loss of dye, as well as the fabric having a tendency to naturally lose dye. This is especially evident in areas where there is stiffening too, such as collars, cuffs and the edge of jackets.

Cleaning

The fabric is dry cleanable in all major dry cleaning solvents and it would be advisable for all structured garments (suits, jackets etc.) to be dry cleaned. Vividly dyed garments may suffer general loss of colour, which is beyond the control of the dry cleaner.

Unless specifically suggested on a garment care label we suggest not washing linen.

If you completely follow the care label instructions, any problem that occurs is the fault of the maufacturer and you should return any damaged garment back to the retailer for a full refund, where you have followed those instructions.

Perhaps the most requested is anything that might clean an iron easily - and now we've found the perfect answer. Ez-Off is made in the USA and is designed for professionals to clean their commercial irons.

Here's how it's used;

  • To clean equipment squeeze a liberal amount of Ez-Off onto a heavy cotton cloth (an old terry towel works best).
  • While the equipment is HOT rub the soiled metal pressing or ironing surface with circular motions. After removing all the soil simply wipe with the clean end of the cloth.
  • If you want to keep equipment clean, slick and operating smoothly, clean with Ez-Off daily. This will ensure maximum speed with minimum interuptions.
