To keep your dress shirts looking crisp, fresh, and long-lasting, follow these essential care practices:

Rotate After Each Wear:
Give your shirts a break between uses to allow the fabric fibers to relax and maintain their shape. Avoid wearing the same shirt multiple days in a row.

Pre-Treat the Collar & Cuffs:
Before washing, lightly treat sweat or makeup marks on the collar, cuffs, and underarms. This helps prevent long-term discoloration.

Wash with Care:
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water. Hot water can shrink cotton and weaken stitching.
Turn shirts inside out to protect buttons and reduce fading.

Avoid Overloading the Machine:
Shirts need space to move freely. Overcrowding leads to deep wrinkles and rough friction on the fabric.

Hang to Dry:
Air-dry shirts on a padded or wooden hanger to maintain the shoulder shape. Avoid tumble drying, which causes shrinkage and premature wear.

Iron While Slightly Damp:
For a crisp finish, iron your shirt when it’s just a bit damp. Start with the collar, then cuffs, sleeves, placket, and finally the body.
Use steam to smooth harder creases without overheating the fabric.

Store Properly:
Button the top button and hang shirts on a properly shaped hanger to preserve the collar and prevent sagging.

Avoid Heavy Fragrances Directly on Fabric:
Spray cologne on your skin, not the shirt—perfume oils can stain and weaken delicate fabrics.
