The hot steamy air will work as steam and will loosen up the linen fibers enforcing the wrinkles to getaway. Important: Do not leave the bathroom door open after you finish showering. Let the linen shirt hang there as much as the air remains hot in the bathroom. After the bathroom cools down, take your shirt away and hang them in a dry place and wait for it to dry up completely before putting it on.
