Care & Instruction
1. Washing Instructions
Follow these washing guidelines to preserve the color, fabric, and fit of your shirts:
- Machine Wash: Use cold water (30°C/86°F max) on a gentle cycle.
Separate Colors:
- Wash dark and light-colored shirts separately to prevent color bleeding.
- Avoid washing your shirts with heavy fabrics like jeans or towels to minimize friction.
Detergents:
- Use mild, non-bleach detergents.
- Avoid strong chemicals or fabric softeners as they may damage the material.
Tip: Turn printed or embroidered shirts inside out before washing to protect the designs.
2. Drying Instructions
Proper drying methods will help prevent shrinking, fading, and fabric damage:
Tumble Dry:
- Use a low heat setting and remove shirts promptly to prevent wrinkles.
Air Dry:
- Lay the shirt flat on a clean surface or hang it on a hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading of colors and designs.
3. Ironing Instructions
Keep your shirts looking crisp and wrinkle-free with these ironing tips:
- Use a low to medium heat setting on your iron.
- Turn the shirt inside out to protect printed graphics, embroidery, or delicate fabrics.
- Use a steam iron for smooth and gentle wrinkle removal.
- Avoid ironing directly over buttons or embellishments; instead, iron around them carefully.
4. Stain Removal Tips
Handle stains promptly and carefully to prevent permanent damage:
Minor Stains:
- Dab gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing, which may damage the fabric.
Tough Stains:
- Spot-treat the area using a stain remover before washing. Test the remover on a hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the color.
Oil or Grease Stains:
- Sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch on the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash as usual.
5. Storage Tips
Proper storage ensures your shirts maintain their shape and look fresh:
Fold Shirts Properly:
- Fold shirts neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or moisture.
Use Hangers for Frequent Wear:
- Hang shirts on sturdy, non-slip hangers to prevent creases and maintain their form.
Avoid Overcrowding:
- Give your shirts enough space in the closet to avoid wrinkling or misshaping.
6. Fabric-Specific Care
Each fabric requires slightly different care. Here are some general tips:
Cotton Shirts:
- Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinking.
Linen Shirts:
- Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle; air dry to maintain softness.
Polyester or Blended Fabrics:
- Use warm water and low heat for drying; avoid high temperatures to prevent damage.
