Washing
Wash your cotton gauze linen at 40°C for regular care, always following the instructions on the care label.
Before washing:
- Turn your linen inside out.
- Fasten all buttons and closures.
- Avoid overloading the washing machine.
Drying
Air-drying is recommended to preserve the softness and naturally crinkled texture of cotton gauze. Hang your linen as soon as the wash cycle ends and allow it to dry completely before storing it.
If permitted by the care label, you may also tumble-dry it at a moderate temperature.
Ironing
Thanks to its naturally crinkled texture, cotton gauze can be used without ironing.
If you wish to iron it, follow the instructions on the product’s care label and iron it inside out when recommended.

✓ Store your linen only when it is completely dry.
Mistakes to Avoid
× Iron at a high temperature.
