Dress Shirt Care Instructions
Your dress shirt tag will indicate: “Machine Wash, Non-Chlorine Bleach, Hang Dry, Iron.”
- Prepare the dress shirt by unbuttoning all buttons, including cuff and collar buttons. Remove and store any collar stays safely.
- Treat stains by gently working detergent into them or spot-cleaning with a stain remover pen.
- Set up your washing machine: Use the Delicate cycle for fine or lightweight dress shirts; for heavier fabrics or particularly soiled shirts, opt for the Normal cycle. Whites can be washed in warm or hot water, while colored shirts should use cold water to prevent fading. Avoid mixing with laundry items that may bleed colors onto your shirts.
- Use a high-quality detergent suitable for the shirt’s color. Avoid chlorine-based detergents or bleaches to prevent discoloration.
- After washing, promptly remove the shirts from the machine to prevent wrinkles from setting in.
- Shake the shirts lightly to remove wrinkles, then hang them on hangers to air dry. Fasten only the top button while hanging. Standard wire hangers are suitable; avoid tight clothespins.
- Iron the shirts once they are mostly dry. Reinsert collar stays if desired and ensure the collar is in a proper position.
