I often have nice conversations with customers and near customers. And then it can be about very different things. What is the best way to wash and dry linen, what to do with stains. But also questions about sustainability. I notice that people are thinking more and more consciously about what they are buying and how sustainable it is. Fortunately, I can tell them that linen bedding is a sustainable purchase. And certainly the linen from our Casa Homefashion brand. European linen, sustainably and fairly produced in Europe. And packed plastic-free!
Why is linen sustainable and what can you (easily) do to make it even more sustainable?
Linen is sustainable because little water is needed to grow the plant during the growth of the flax plant. In addition, no pesticides are used, unlike, for example, the cotton plant. The entire plant is used, nothing is thrown away. Few chemicals are needed to produce the linen. Linen is rightfully the most sustainable type of textile in the world.
Linen bedding is also sustainable in use. Because it does not contain dust mites and it is anti-bacterial, you can simply wash the linen at 40 degrees. And it is really clean, you don’t have to worry about that. Never use bleach. Also, never wash the linen hotter than 60 degrees, as the fibers may break.
Do you have a stain or do you want to freshen up your linen bedding?
One has fatter skin than the other. You often see this on a pillowcase. What is the best way to remove skin smear or stains from the linen bedding? Put it in the week with Biotex and then wash it at 40 degrees. Very simple and sustainable because Biotex week is naturally degradable. You remove the stains and it also refreshes your bedding completely. Certainly white or other light bedding.
What can you do yourself?
Reduce the amount of plastic waste by purchasing detergent in a cardboard package. Liquid detergent is always in plastic bottles, but washing powder in cardboard boxes also ensures a nice clean wash. Small effort with which you can make a difference! Every bit helps!
