How To Wash Your Summer Linens And Keep Them In Perfect Condition – Glam

Before you just throw your linen goods into the washer, always be sure to read the label for special care instructions, as some linens may be mixed with other types of fabrics, treatments, or dyes. If you're unsure about what the label means, refer to a guide to help you (via Who What Wear). Once it's time for it to go into the washer, be sure to put it on the gentle cycle with lukewarm water. Linen Beauty notes that linen garments and materials should not be overcrowded in the washer as it could twist or pull the fabric. Additionally, it must be paired with other items of similar material, delicacy, or color.

You may also opt for handwashing your linen for an even gentler wash that you have more control over. If your garment is unsoiled, hand-washing is the recommended method to go with. Do so in a soft, swishing motion, and do not wring, twist, or scrub it (via Linen Beauty). Whether you are machine or hand washing your linen, also be sure to use a mild detergent made for delicate fabrics (via Dengarden).
