Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and batch matching: sort by style number, color number and dye lot, wash same batch and same dye lot together to avoid color bleeding and color difference.
2. 2Desizing and stain removal in clean water: warm water below 40℃ + neutral detergent, gently remove loose fibers, oil stains and sizing; never use strong alkali or chlorine bleach.
3. 3Softening finish: add hydrophilic softener (silicone-based/fatty acid-based) to improve the linen handfeel, making the fabric surface soft and reducing itchiness; the cotton component feels softer after absorbing moisture.
4. 4Dewatering and setting: low-speed dewatering, wringing strictly prohibited, pre-set the shape while wet to prevent the linen-cotton fabric from wrinkling and deforming.
5. 5Drying/shade drying: low-temperature drying or lay flat in the shade to 80% dry; avoid high temperature and direct sun, to prevent linen from yellowing and losing strength.
6. 6Panel pressing: steam-press each garment panel once before sewing to remove curled edges and wrinkles; linen is best ironed damp with moderate steam pressure.
7. 7Garment pressing: after sewing is complete, steam-press the whole garment once on a dress form to set the shape, avoid prolonged direct pressing which causes shine.
8. 8Re-pressing and finishing: press easily wrinkled areas such as neckline, placket, hem and cuffs once more where possible, to ensure a flat and crisp finish.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: inspect size, color difference, fuzzing, stains and pressing effect; after passing, bag the item, taking care to store it moisture-proof.
