Regular laundry routine. Linen withstands heat and is stronger when wet. It can be bleached. It stands up to sunlight better than cotton. Linen does weaken if folded in the same place repeatedly (like paper), so if you store a set, maybe don't be too methodical about that.

Wash then in hot. Tumble dry. Don’t ever use fabric softener because it clogs up the weeds and makes them unbreathable.

No need to iron unless you are anal retentive. But it’s a losing battle. They’ll still look wrinkled.

+1 love my linen sheets in hot weather!

What kind??

What kind, OP? I’m thinking of getting some. Would love any recommendations!

Are they stonewashed or standard linen (ie the type that should be pressed)? What brand did you get? I’m asking because I’m interested in buying a set, but I mostly find stonewashed linen.

OP these are fabrege eggs. You handle them they way you would handle cotton sheets.

Linen is actually a tough material

I think linen gets better in the dryer.

I treat my linen sheets just like my cotton sheets. No ironing, that’s wild.

If you hang them to dry (even over a shower curtain if you don't have room for line outside) you'll get much fewer wrinkles.

If you are machine washing, the spin cycle is going to mash the edges

I purchased linen sheets about a year ago, I was really excited about them but now really don't like them. They are heavy, bulky, and hot. And let's not talk about the wrinkling. Good thing I only purchased one set.

I am in love my linen sheets (newly converted) and want to make sure I take care of them properly. And solid advice. I use to have cotton sheets then moved to bamboo but still had trouble sleeping. I do not have space to line dry.
