Linen is the epitome of effortless luxury—lightweight, breathable, and timelessly elegant. But without the right care, even the finest linen can lose its luster. Whether it’s your favorite resortwear, breezy linen pants, or a crisp button-down, caring for linen properly ensures it stays fresh, soft, and beautifully draped for years to come.
Here’s your complete guide to maintaining high-quality linen so it remains as stunning as the day you bought it.

High-quality linen is best washed in cold or lukewarm water (never hot!) to preserve the fibers. While hand-washing is the gentlest option, modern washing machines with a delicate cycle can also work well.

• Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent (avoid harsh chemicals).
• Wash linen separately from heavy fabrics like denim or towels.
• Select a gentle cycle with low spin.
• Avoid bleach—it weakens linen fibers.

Linen thrives when air-dried, as excessive heat can shrink and weaken its fibers.

• Best Option: Lay flat or hang linen in a shaded area to prevent fading.
• If Using a Dryer: Use low heat and remove while slightly damp to prevent stiffness.

Prevent Wrinkles While Drying

• Shake out linen garments before drying to minimize creases.
• Smooth out seams and collars by hand before hanging.

General Stain Removal Tips

• Treat stains immediately with cold water.
• Dab (don’t rub!) with a mild detergent or baking soda paste.
• Avoid harsh chemicals—vinegar and lemon juice work wonders for brightening.
