Proper Linen care, especially at sea, can easily be overlooked amidst the hustle and bustle of life aboard a yacht. Don’t worry, we got you.
Based on what we’ve experienced, these are the 6 common mistakes most of us do that ruin linens fast.
Washing everything on hot 🔥.
Believe it or not, this does happen 😅. We don’t know why, but it’s a thing. Heat is the fastest way to break down fine linen fibers.
To bleach or not to bleach ⚪️
Sometimes, this has the opposite effect, because unbeknownst to us mere mortals, even most gentle whitening detergents often contain optical brightners.
DON’T set it and forget it.
Pro tip: pull linens slightly damp when possible.
Soft, with a cost.
Natural fibers prefer going uncoated most of the time.
Bad linen storage 💧
Humidity and sealed storage, especially at sea, is just a bad mix. Let linens breathe.
Speaking of exposure…
Salt residue from the sea air transfers between fabrics. So, treat them differently.
