How to Care for Linen Clothing So It Lasts All Season

Linen is one of the most durable natural fibers you can own — but only if you care for it correctly. Here's how to keep your linen pieces looking their best.

Wash Cold, Always

Hot water breaks down linen fibers over time and can cause shrinkage. A cold, gentle cycle is all you need.

Skip the Dryer When You Can

Air-drying preserves linen's natural texture and prevents the fabric from becoming brittle. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove pieces while still slightly damp.

Embrace the Wrinkles

Part of linen's charm is its relaxed, lived-in texture. A slightly wrinkled linen dress reads as effortless — not sloppy. If you do want to smooth it out, iron on a medium setting while the fabric is still damp.

Store It Properly

Fold linen rather than hanging it for long periods, as hanging can stretch the fabric out of shape over time.

Spot Clean When Possible

Frequent full washes can wear down fibers faster than necessary. For small spills, spot cleaning extends the life of the garment between washes.
