The Wrinkle Factor

Whether or not to iron your linen clothes is up to you to decide.

You may not want to iron a slouchy linen top, but perhaps you'll want to iron a crisper look when it comes to a more tailored linen shirt you're wearing to the office, or a linen dress you're wearing to a wedding or other dressy occasion.

To get the best results, press the shirt straight out of the wash while it's still damp, or if the piece is already dry, use a spray bottle filled with water or linen spray. You don't need to iron until the fabric is completely dry, as it will dry quickly all on its own, so use a medium to high heat setting on the iron and press only until the wrinkles are removed. It's a good idea to iron bright and dark colored clothes on the back of the garment to keep them looking fresh.

If you want your linen clothes to stay pressed looking for the duration of wear, use spray starch for a crisper look, and to make sure whisker points like the knees, elbows, and crotch don't become impossibly creased over the course of the day.

The best method to eliminate creases in linen would be using a spray bottle of water to dampen the crease and then letting it rest for 24 hours before laying it flat and smoothing it out.
