Linen is a very durable fabric and can be machine-washed with the rest of your laundry. Linens get softer every time you wash them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Machine-wash linens with like colors according to their care instructions. Use the delicate cycle for fine linens with lace.
Step2
Iron linen while it is still very damp. Starch can help prevent excess creasing.
Step3
For particularly soiled or stained linen, wash frequently with plenty of detergent and bleach.
Step4
Brighten yellowed linen by dissolving a few denture-cleaning tablets in a tub of warm water. Soak the linen in this mixture for at least 20 minutes.
Step5
Tumble dry and iron again if necessary.
