Frankfurt / Main (dpa / tmn) - clothing made of linen is particularly comfortable to wear in summer - because trousers, dresses and shirts are light and air-permeable. But you still have to wash them regularly. A few rules should be observed in order to protect the fine fibers.

If you wash linen clothes in the washing machine, it should be filled up to halfway maximum - because linen "wants to swim", as the industry association for personal care and detergents explains. In other words: lots of water, low spin speed. Washing is done inside out at 40 degrees, with color or mild detergent.

The clothes can be hung up to dry, but they should be shaken well and stretched beforehand. Because linen tends to crease. If there are still a few wrinkles left, linen can be ironed - also turned inside out. For this, the clothing is moistened beforehand.
