Tips For Shirt Care
I wonder how many men will be interested to read this article. Most men I know would not even be bothered about it but for the benefit of those who do, I am posting these pointers:
Improper shirt care results in damaged shirt, shirt going out of shape and does not project a good image when the wearer puts it on.
- Wash before wearing it for the first time. The purpose is to soften the material as well as to remove any manufacturing chemicals.
- I know you’ll hate me for saying this but it is best to wash your high quality shirts by hand. If you believe I am totally out of my mind for suggesting this, the other alternative is to use washing machines in luke warm water.
- Do not spray deodorant on your shirts to avoid a permanent stain
- Check your shirts every now and then to ensure that there are no missing buttons or buttons that appears to hang loosely.
- Only use laundering, dry cleaning is a big No-No
- To get rid of stain, wash it immediately so that the stain does not get absorbed into the shirt.
- Do not press shirt that has a stain. Else, the stain will stay permanently due to the heat.
- Bleach must be diluted before use and also ensure that the dark coloured shirts are separated from the light coloured or white ones to avoid colour runs.
- Hang your shirts with wooden or plastic hangers that have firm shoulders.
If you want to avoid unnecessary damage to your shirts and have longer lasting and crisp shirts in your wardrobe, practice using the abovementioned pointers until you get into the habit of doing it.
