“The return to natural cleansing: the power of ancient traditions”

Introduction

Sustainability is often seen as something modern, but our grandmothers already knew how to wash naturally and effectively. This article explores how they used hot water and natural soaps, why it still works, and why our cotton-linen products only get better over time.

🫧 Lye: the detergent of the past

Before industrial detergents, people used lye, a natural alkaline solution made by boiling wood ash and water. It was used to clean, soften and disinfect natural fibers like cotton and linen. Effective and eco-friendly.

🔥 Hot water: the best natural stain remover

In recent years, ads have pushed cold-water washing. But:

• Heat dissolves stains faster
• Naturally kills bacteria
• Boosts the action of gentle soaps like Marseille soap

Cold cycles were made for synthetic fibers, not for the natural ones our ancestors used daily.

🧵 Cotton and linen get better over time

Our products are made of yarn-dyed cotton and linen, which means:

• Long-lasting color
• Safe hot washing at 50–60°C
• Softer after each wash

Linen naturally relaxes and softens. Hang it in the sun with a gentle spin and… no ironing needed!

✅ Why choose natural tablecloths

• Washable at high temperatures
• Hygienic, plastic-free
• Durable and beautiful
• No need for vinyl or plastic covers

Conclusion

Natural fibers take us back to a sustainable and authentic lifestyle. All you need is hot water, quality fabric and sunlight. Just like grandma used to do.
