You invested in a great shirt. Now, let's make it last. Avoid these common mistakes to keep your men's dress shirts looking new for years.
-
Using Too Much Detergent: This leaves a residue that dulls the fabric and attracts dirt. Use the recommended amount.
-
Washing with Hot Water: Hot water can cause colors to fade and cotton to shrink. Always wash in cold water.
-
Over-drying: Tumbling on high heat is a one-way ticket to wrinkles and fabric damage. Remove shirts while slightly damp and hang them to dry.
-
Using Wire Hangers: Those dry-cleaning wire hangers can leave weird bumps on the shoulders. Use contoured wooden or plastic hangers instead.
-
Ignoring Stains: Treat stains immediately! The longer they sit, the harder they are to remove.
A little proper care goes a long way. Treat your shirts well, and they’ll return the favor every time you wear them.
