Linen

Linen has a reputation for wrinkling easily, especially after being washed. The good news is, combating wrinkles is pretty easy when it comes to linen upholstery. If linens are pre-washed, you can place them in the dryer on low heat to help remove some wrinkles. However, make sure you remove the linens while they are still somewhat damp. You can also turn your iron to its low to medium-hot setting and iron the linen upholstery fabric while it is still damp. Another alternative is placing a dampened towel over top the piece of linen before ironing.

Linen is extremely sustainable - more so than most fabrics. And today, many consumers are looking for sustainable products. When growing flax, very little water is required. Therefore, farmers do not need to irrigate or fertilize during this process. Flax typically requires fewer pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides as well. Even once a flax plant is harvested, very little is wasted. Its seeds, for example, can be used to produce oil or can be eaten as a food source. Even when the upholstery is no longer needed, it is biodegradable.
