Does linen have a risk of burning easily? Or is it just the high heat that causes that? Sorry but I really am new to this, I've never had linen clothing before and actually only started doing my own laundry a few years ago  |
Linen does not have any more risk of burning easily anymore than a 100% cotton shirt. BUT, the LINEN setting on your iron does. It is just about the hottest setting on most irons.
The fabric of a cotton tea towel looks the same as the fabric in any cotton dress shirt. A terry cloth tea towel wont hurt, but it is the same fabric as a bath towel, hence my warning about fuzz. If your linen suit is a dark color, that fuzz will show up easily.
If you do not have a cotton tea towel, do you have some old cotton shirt that is clean? Just cut a rectangular piece from that and use it. Just make sure it is clean, otherwise, you will press the dirt into your linen suit.
