Should I air dry linen furniture covers (Restoration Hardware)?
We have white linen chairs and couch in our living room from Restoration Hardware. We have vacuumed and spot cleaned in the past. I just washed the covers for the first time.
Should I air dry the linen or can I throw it in the dryer?
I don't wear much linen clothing and I dry clean them so I have no idea how to wash.

I was just thinking that I hope I don't have to buy new living room furniture after ruining these covers.

I think Linen can really shrink so I would not risk the dryer.
Air dry

Yeah that's the other thing with linen- it wrinkles very badly.
I wonder if you can have them steamed at the dry cleaner to get out the wrinkles.

I bought a clothing steamer last year that I have used like twice. I will try that first. If that doesn't work, I will take to get steamed.

I have linen slipcovers from PB. I put mine in the dryer on a very low heat setting. This helps with the wrinkles. Usually these slipcovers are mixed with some cotton so you should be fine on the lowest setting. I also set the timer and I put them back on the couch slightly damp as well.
