Linen Gets Better When It Is Cared for Well
Linen is a breathable natural fiber made from flax. It is known for its strength, relaxed texture, and ability to become more comfortable through regular use.
But more detergent is not always better. Excess product, fabric coatings, optical brighteners, and unnecessary fragrance can be harder to rinse from fabric and may interfere with the natural feel customers love about linen.

How to Wash Linen Clothes, Sheets, and Towels
Always follow the care label.
For washable linen:
Use the recommended amount of detergent. Avoid overdosing.
Wash in cool or warm water as permitted by the care label.
Use cold water for dark, bright, or shrink-prone pieces.
Give linen room to move. Do not pack the washer too tightly.
Air dry when practical or tumble dry on low when permitted.
Remove linen while slightly damp and smooth or hang it to reduce deep wrinkles.
Avoid high heat unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer. Wash deeply dyed or new linen separately until you know the color is stable.
Linen Laundry Detergent FAQs
What should I look for in the best detergent for linen?
Look for a concentrated formula with clear ingredients that rinses thoroughly when used as directed. Avoid using more detergent than necessary, and follow the fabric’s care label.
Should linen be washed in hot or cold water?
Cool or warm water is generally appropriate when permitted by the care label. Use cold water for dark colors, bright colors, and items that may shrink. Use warm water for sheets and towels only when allowed.
What does “fresh linen” laundry detergent mean?
“Fresh linen” is commonly used as the name of a fragrance. It does not describe whether the fabric itself is clean.
