Wash Care

The House of Malik Linen Care Guide

Because true luxury deserves thoughtful care.

With the right love and attention, natural linen can outlast even your most cherished memories. At The House of Malik, we believe in preserving beauty that endures. Here’s our essential TLC guide to help your linens stay timeless.

Rule One: Always Pre-Wash New Linens

The first wash sets the foundation for longevity. Gently unfold your linen and wash using a mild liquid detergent—less than your usual amount.

As a natural fibre, linen responds sensitively to chemicals. Harsh detergents or improper dry cleaning can cause uneven fading or damage. Strong solvents and excessive heat may weaken its integrity over time.

Note: Avoid fabric softeners—they break down natural fibres. Like all good things, linen softens beautifully with time.

Rule Two: Wash with Care & Separation

Treat your linens with intention. Always separate darks from lights, pre-treat stains, and avoid bleach.

Use a gentle warm wash cycle followed by a cool rinse to maintain colour and fibre strength while keeping your linen fresh and refined.

Rule Three: Dry with Gentle Precision

Linen thrives in natural conditions. Air drying on a clothesline is ideal to preserve its texture and structure.

If using a dryer, smooth out damp linens before placing them inside and select the lowest heat setting to prevent unnecessary stress on the fibres.

Rule Four: Iron While Slightly Damp

For that crisp, luxurious finish, iron your linens while they are still slightly damp.

For stubborn creases, lightly mist with water—allowing you to restore its smooth elegance effortlessly.

Rule Five: Let Your Linen Breathe

Avoid plastic storage. Linen needs airflow to maintain its freshness and longevity.

Store your pieces in a cool, dry space, and for long-term care, wrap them in soft muslin cloth to protect their natural charm.

A Gentle Reminder

Care for your linen with kindness, and it will reward you with years of comfort, beauty, and timeless elegance.
