Plain linen can pretty much be washed just like cotton. Linen takes heat pretty well even.
I tend to wash linen on delicate & hang to dry to extend the life of the fabric, but, it's not nearly as difficult as wool. I use regular detergent even.
I've been told that oxyclean will destroy linen. I haven't tested it myself.
