Care & Cleaning
Dry clean highly recommended. Brabant is a reactive dyed linen and will release dye if washed repeatedly. This will give it a stonewashed appearance and lighten the colors and create scarification throughout. The darker the colors the more this effect will be noticeable. This and all fabrics can be wiped with a wet cloth, brushed lightly or even vacuumed. Upholstered furnishings and curtains should be vacuumed periodically.
