Linen shirts have wonderful properties, especially in summer, and are not complicated to care for,
if you know how.
Positive properties: it dries faster, even if you sweat, every breeze blows through the shirt and has a cooling effect, and it also has a casual look.
Washing tips: wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, only use a low spin speed, for example 900 revolutions. White linen shirts can also be washed hotter, you can also use full detergent or oxygen bleach. The higher the speed, the more creased it will come out of the machine. Please wash intense colors only with other intense colors, there is a risk of discoloration
After the wash cycle, empty the machine quickly and stretch the shirts a little along the seams to pull them into shape. Perhaps hang them on a hanger so that the shirts dry evenly and quickly. Smoothing them out may save you from having to iron them, keyword: "natural ruffle"
Ironing linen shirts: the most important thing is that linen cannot be ironed smooth without a lot of steam. It is even easier to just leave the shirt to dry after washing and iron it with the residual moisture in the fabric. Steam ironing also makes linen very soft, as linen typically has a hard feel after drying. In principle, this also applies to cotton shirts, but linen requires more moisture.
Important when ironing: always iron dark and intense colors from the inside, this is called ironing from the left or "inside out", otherwise there will quickly be shiny spots.
