Iron on medium heatSoftener can be used and does not harm the facbric in any way.
It is not necessary to wash the linen before first use, since there are no harmful chemicals.
All bed linen will see shrinkage between 3-5% after a few washes. This has been taken into consideration in the sizing of the products.
Washing instructions - Towels
Please wash your new towels before first use, so they get a better absorbency. In order for your towels to maintain their quality over time, we recommend the following:
You can wash your Alva towels in 60°, however for a more environmentally sustainable wash we recommend 40°Do not bleach
Can be tumble dried at medium temperature
Iron on high temperature
Do not dry cleanWash with similar colours
Avoid fabric softener, it can create a thin film around the terry cloth and impair the ability to absorb water.
Tumble dry on medium heat if you want a soft and fluffy towel. If you prefer a more rough feeling, we recommend hang drying.
Avoid contact with any bleach as it may cause stains of discoloration (bleach may be present in e.g. toothpaste and soap)
