How can I stop a linen shirt creasing in a backpack?

Our answer

Roll the linen shirt loosely in a packing cube rather than folding sharply; hang it in the bathroom during a warm shower to release minor creases.

Why this approach makes sense

The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.

Before you try it

Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
