Knitted Items In Men's Wardrobe. What Are They And How To Wear?
A cotton shirt is one of the critical elements of a man's wardrobe. Of course, provided that it is clean and ironed. You can use laundry or dry cleaning services if you don't like it and don't know how to wash and iron things. But what if there is no such possibility? We believe that the ability to take care of your clothes is helpful to anyone. Therefore, we decided to compile a guide for you on caring for men's shirts.
After buying a new shirt, do not throw away the tag. It will tell you how not to spoil the novelty with improper care. But if there is no tag, then you should remember that:
· before washing the shirt, it is desirable to fasten all the buttons;
· stains, especially from wine, blood, grass, and fat, should be treated with a stain remover before washing or soak the shirt in a detergent solution for several hours;
· wash shirts at a temperature of no higher than 40° (if you have a smart washing machine, it has a unique "Cotton" mode);
· wash white and colored shirts separately, and choose appropriate detergents;
· wash without spinning or spin at a maximum of 400-600 revolutions;
· do not rub collars and cuffs too much. They wear out quickly because of rubbing;
· use powder enhancers and bleaches - they will help to get rid of stains and dirt carefully;
· do not wear shirts for too long - change them every 1-2 days;
· if you wash by hand, first soak the shirt for a couple of hours. Don’t rub it too hard.
You can use fabric softeners after washing. They will give things softness and a pleasant aroma. Try to choose a conditioner with an aroma that will not conflict with your perfume, or almost without an odor.
If you don't have a dryer or washing machine, dry the shirts in the open air or in a well-ventilated room. First, leave the shirts on hangers in the bathroom to drain excess water. Ensure the clothes are not exposed to direct sunlight to prevent color loss. Hang shirts on thin ropes, and don't use clothespins. Store the shirts hanging on wide trempels.
Do not leave shirts in a dryer for too long - you can’t iron them properly. It is better to take off the shirts slightly damp, so ironing them to a perfect state will be easier. Before ironing, ensure there are no stains on the fabric - removing them will be more challenging after heat treatment.
Do not turn the iron on the maximum heat - a hot temperature can damage your shirt. Using the steam ironing mode is optimal for silk shirts, allowing you to iron clothes immediately on the shoulders.
Use perfume before putting on a shirt and wait until it dries on the body - the essential oils that are part of the perfume can leave stains on fabrics that are almost impossible to remove.
If you follow these simple rules, the shirt will last you several years. Pay attention to collars and cuffs. They wear out fast and will inform you when it's time to buy a new shirt.
