Frequently asked questions

• Available in three sizes: women and teenagers ( 19 cm x 19 cm), men (20 cm x 20 cm), 8-14 year-olds (17 cm x 17 cm).

Q. How do I care for my mask?
A.

• Hand wash the mask with your usual soap.
• While the mask is still damp, recreate the lovely folds using your hands.
• Hang to dry, or even better, allow sunlight to dry the mask.

How do I care for linen clothes and table linen?
A.

• The linen is machine-washed in hot water and tumble dried at the highest setting before being cut and sewn.
• It has thus undergone the initial shock and will not shrink. The clothes and table linen can therefore be washed and dried again in the machine without any worries.
• Linen items, such as table linen, can be ironed in the hottest iron using steam if you wish.
• For clothing, if you like the natural look of linen, you may prefer to shape them with your hands after taking them out of the washing machine and drying them on the clothesline, or let them dry in the open air in the winter. And finally, soften them a little in the dryer and take them out immediately. Of course, if you prefer, clothes can also be ironed in the hottest iron using steam.
• Avoid bleach and other bleaching agents with the colors and wash them separately.

Q. What are the properties of linen?
A.

• Natural and environmentally-friendly fabric. When it comes to new textile fibers,  linen is the best environmental choice.
• Biodegradable.
• Durable: handles, wears and washes well.
• Known for its superior absorption level compared to other textile fibres.
• Naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
• Antistatic: It will not get caught in nylon stockings or tights.
• Thermoregulatory: keeps the skin cool.
• Effective in filtering out tiny particles.

Q. What is percale?
A.

• A weaving technique that gives a regular and very tight weave.
• Used for pure cotton, a natural fibre.
• Fabric with a high degree of filtration.

Q. How long will it take for my order to be processed?

Q. How are products shipped?
A. All products will be shipped via Canada Post Xpresspost. Shipping is fast, allows you to track the package, and includes insurance to cover the full amount of your order.
