SATIN
Fabric woven with floating yarns made of silk, rayon, acetate, nylon, polyester, or a blend. Known for its luxurious, smooth, lustrous, and draping qualities. Often used for blouses, dresses, and lingerie.
Pretreat
Treat stains on your lyocell shirts, sheets, leggings, and other clothing with Stain Solution or the Wash & Stain Bar. Focus on susceptible areas such as underarms, necklines, and cuffs.
Stain Solution is ideal for protein and tannin stains, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, urine, blood, and old, set-in stains such as pit stains.
The Wash & Stain Bar works the material to remove dirt, grease, oil, and makeup.
To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in cool water mixed with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar.
Handwash
Handwashing is always the best and safest method for washing satin.
Add 2 capfuls or a squirt of Delicate Wash to a washbasin or sink filled with cool water.
Submerge the item and gently agitate the water with your hands to evenly distribute soap. Soak for up to 30 minutes.
Rinse well by running cool water through the item until the water is no longer soapy.
Do not wring. Instead, press the water out of the item.
Dry & Finish
Lay the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack or hang to dry. Do not put it in the dryer!
Most delicate items will be wrinkled after laundering. We recommend steaming for the best and safest finish.
If ironing, use the lowest temperature setting and iron on the wrong side of the fabric (with the garment inside out). A pressing cloth between the iron and item will be safest.
To freshen items between wearing, spritz with Delicate Spray.
Store
Satin items such as a skirt or dress can be hung on a hanger; however, be mindful of clips because they can leave marks on the material.
Always store items clean.
We recommend storing in a breathable cotton Hanging Storage Bag to protect items from bugs.
Storing in plastic encourages yellowing and can trap mildew-causing moisture, a prime environment for bugs.
All techniques are based on textile science. Not all garments perform and react as science would predict.

LINEN
The breezy, made-for-warm-weather fabric is made from the fibers of flax plants. It is typically stronger and more absorbent than its sister fabric, cotton, but their washing techniques are more or less the same.
Pretreat
Always start by treating stains with Stain Solution (for color-rich stains like coffee, wine, ink, fruit, and grass) or Wash & Stain Bar (for oil-based stains). Focus on areas prone to staining such as underarms, necklines, cuffs, and hems.
Flax linen is particularly prone to pit stains, yellowing, and dinginess. To remove old and tough stains, presoak with All-Purpose Bleach Alternative in a washbasin or clean sink with hot water.
To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in hot water mixed with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar.
Handwash
Machine or handwash linens with like colors and fabrics with Signature Detergent or, for whites, Whites Detergent, and hot water.
Dry & Finish
Linen can withstand tumble drying with high heat. You can also line dry, which helps to preserve fibers, colors, shape, and elasticity, while also saving energy!
To ease ironing or steaming, remove the items from the dryer while still damp. Use the highest temperature or steam setting.
