How Long Do Linens Last?

It’s very simple. The lifespan of all fine quality linens depends upon how they’re cared for. While some lower quality sheeting may not last more than a year, our linens are made from the finest, all-natural fabrics and superbly woven to create a soft and authentic quality product.



Our linens can last several years with proper care. To maximize the longevity of your sheeting, follow our simple care instructions below.


How to Care for Linens

Aut Lit owner & expert, Joanna Goodman, discusses the ease of laundering your linens and how to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.

Prevent Pilling

Dreaded pilling happens when those tiny natural fibres break and ball up on the ends, but it can be prevented! Here are our top tips:

> Wash all Cotton Satin linens in cold water before use to set the fibres.

> Do not use caustic soaps, bleaches, Persil, or Woolite detergents, which can be very harsh on fabric. We recommend gentle detergents like Sunlight, Ivory, and Le Blanc.

> Sleep in nightwear made with natural fabrics, as synthetic PJs are one of the biggest causes of pilling.

> Do not wash with any articles that are heavy or coarse - such as bathmats, towels, or denim - as they can scour the fabric.

> Acne medications and whitening toothpastes contain chemicals that will bleach almost everything.
