We recommend that you wash your table linen items before the first use and follow the instructions recommended by our suppliers.
Before first use: Wash your linens at a low temperature (30 oC). Do not wash in cold water !
Washing instructions thereafter: Wash your linens immediately after use. Do not exceed the recommended load amount. Use a suitable detergent that does not contain optical whitening agents. Never use bleach or detergents with enzymes as they damage the quality of the fabric and shortens this life of the item.
Apply the recommended washing temperature: 45 oC (max 60 oC). There is not need to raise the temperature too much as it is not required for linen.
Rinse: Rinse the laundry thoroughly with water (we recommend 3 rinse cycles).
Drying: When using a dryer fill the drum halfway (half the normal weight) to allow the linen to move freely during drying. Raise the temperature gradually pendant drying to 60 ‘C and remove the linen before it is completely dried.
Ironing: 100% linen and linen/cotton is ideally ironed in steam iron at high temperature when the material is a little damp. The linen/polyester is ironed at a medium temperature.
How do I care for my 100% Egyptian Cotton bed linen?
We recommend that you wash your KISANY bed linen before the first use following the washing instructions recommended by our suppliers.
Before the first use: Wash your new bed linen in cold water and without laundry detergents.
General washing instructions thereafter: During the first three washes we recommend you wash at 30cmax. with laundry detergents without chlorine or optical bleaching agents.
Afterwards, use only quality liquid laundry – don’t use softeners! Avoid overloading the machine and wash your bed linen inside out (at 60cmax).
Always wash dark colors separately. During the first washes, the dark colors release a little excess color. This phenomenon is not abnormal and will stabilize in subsequent washes.
Never leave the bed linen wet in the machine to preserve it and avoid colour migrations.
Do not wash your bed linen with other textiles, especially those containing polyester, which would damage natural fibers and damage the softness. All your KISANY bed linen products are made from natural fibres and are therefore prone to shrinkage. Follow these recommendations carefully to limit the risks.
Do not have it dry-cleaned.
Rinse: Rinse the linen thoroughly with clear water.
Drying: Hang your laundry to dry it with reduced heat strain.
Ironing: Iron your bed linen to 200cMax.

1400 trees planted in Goma
As our business grows, we are aware that we need to take greater steps to protect the environment. It is not enough to simply create sustainable products, we must seek to have an impact that is as ecological as it is social.
This is why we are committed to offsetting our CO2 emissions. Since 2019, we have financed the planting of 1400 trees in Goma, DR Congo.
Why Goma ? Firstly because this is where our partner AGAPE workshop is located and secondly because the volcanic eruption of Nyiragongo in 2002 destroyed half of the city’s trees. So it is the ideal location to begin this project.
How are we able to do this ? We partnered with the VSK program of our partner NGO En Avant Les Enfants to set up the tree nursery. Adolescents who have unfortunately not had access to school are trained by this program in agroforestry. Using their new skills, they are plant different varieties of local fruit trees and other pollinators throughout the city of Goma. In addition, they closely monitor their trees to ensure their growth. Our funding also allows them to build new seedlings and buy several kg of seeds to continue this program and the fight against climate change.
KISANY is honoured to support this team in Goma and their extraordinary work.
This is only the beginning…
