Machine-wash linens on "warm." For white linen, use an oxygen-based bleach rather than chlorine, which can cause yellowing.
Remove linen items from the dryer while they are still damp, then finish drying on clothesline; over drying can cause linen to become brittle.
Iron linen while it's still damp. Or, store damp items in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to prevent mildew and make pressing easier.
