Linens

Meaning of linens

Linens are fabric household goods intended for daily use, such

as bedding, table clothes and towels. "Linens" may also refer to church linens, meaning the altar clothes used in church.

History of Lenin The earliest known household linens were made from thin yarn spun

fromflax fibres to make linen cloth. The earliest surviving fragments of linen cloth have been found in

Egyptian tombs and date to 4000 BCE. Flax fibres have been found in cloth fragments in Europe that date to

the Neolithic prehistoric age. Cotton is another popular fibre for making cloth used for household linens

& Its use in cloth-making also dates back to prehistoric times, indian Subcontinent, China, Peru and Egypt. The Indian subcontinent was especially well known or high quality cotton cloth as early as 1500 BCE.

Linen was an especially popular cloth during the Middle ages in Europe, when cotton was an exotic import.

It was used for underclothing, Chemises, shifts, shirts and blouses, in fact most clothing worn next to the skin, by those able to afford an extra layer of clothing.

The rise of European colonialism at the same time helped support the rapid growth of cloth production by creating many cheap sources of raw materials.

British cloth manufacturers would import raw cotton from America and the British West indies  to Ireland, where it would be spun into yarn. The yarn would be imported into England, where mechanized factories employed thousands of workers, who would weave cloth on industrial looms.

Today, the term "linen" is still used for bedsheets, tablecloths and similar household textiles, even though most are made of cotton, synthetic fabrics, or blends. Especially in American Engalish, they may be called "white goods", otherwise a term for kitchen Majore aplienses .

There is a long history of the production of linen in Ireland. The Living linen Project was set up in 1995 as an oral archive of the knowledge of the Irish linen industry, which was at that time still available within a nucleus of people who formerly worked in the industry in Ulster,

Linen fabric has been used for table coverings, bed coverings and clothing for centuries.

About … Cleaning & Storage Linens

Cleaning household linens is done as appropriate to the type of cloth. Household linens are most likely to have stains from organic sources such as food, blood, and soil.

If the linens are made of natural fibres such as linen or cotton, the cloth will need to be rinsed as soon as possible in cold water to prevent the stain from becoming permanent.

Linen and cotton that are white may also become yellow over time, but this is eliminated by bleaching, either with liquid bleach, or by the traditional method of hanging the linens in the sun to let the sunlight bleach out the discoloration.

Household linens are stored near the area where they are used, when possible, for convenience. Otherwise, bed and kitchen and dining linens may be stored together in a linen closet or cupboard.

. Traditionally, table linens could be strached while ironing, to decrease wrinkling and retain a smooth, pristine appearance. Seasonal storage of linens led to the development of natural pest control methods in Europe to prevent moth larvea and other insects or rodents from eating the cloth.

About …

Industrial cleaning of linens…..

Industrial laundries were developed in the Middle Ages, when large convents and monasteries used their own facilities.

Hospitals and boarding schools followed this example. Today, there are several types of industrial laundries.

Hospitals often use laundry chutes to collect used linens. These are transported to an industrial laundry, where they are sorted into three categories: regularly soiled, infected, or staff uniforms.

In India, Dhobi ghats provide laundry service to both institutions and households.

Household linens and clothing are both collected on a fixed day of the week by the Dhobi, who washes the laundry at a ghat, which is often in a large Dhobi ghat zone where many Dhobis work at their own stall.

Each stall is approximately four square metres. Laundry is washed in large tubs, rinsed, cleaned by beating on a stone

made for the purpose, and then the linens are hung on lines to dry.& . Dhobis also iron linens.

How linen is Made

Linen fabric is made from the cellulose fibers that grow inside of the stalks of the flax plant, or Linum usitatissimum, one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history. Flax is an annual plant, which means it only lives for one growing season.
