In today's era, nearly everyone in the workforce has more than one shirt in their wardrobe. As a must-have piece, shirts are a staple seen at various occasions. But, do men/women know how to care for the shirts that have accompanied them to so many events? Let's let the editor walk you through the proper ways to wash shirts.
Firstly, do not place shirts and jeans in the washing machine together, but rather:
First, remove the stay from the back of the collar, and suggest gently knead the garment with a neutral detergent.
2. Ideal for hand-washing shirts, but if you must use the washing machine, remember to place it in a laundry bag.
Over 30 seconds is unacceptable for the drying time of a 100% cotton shirt.
4. Pure cotton shirts actually should be ironed, not folded, and hung directly in the closet.
5. Adding fabric softener during laundry can enhance the next-time-wear feel of your shirt.
Do not soak or rinse with hot water; do not use bleach.
7. If it gets wet, please air-dry at room temperature.
8. Please store it properly in a bag if it's not going to be used for an extended period.
9. If there are stains, use a leather cleaner and gently wipe with a cloth.
10. If there are any stains, please promptly clean the stained area with cool water.
11. If the fabric wrinkles are released from the collar, simply roll it up and leave it for a day before hanging it up.
In daily life, a single moment of carelessness can lead to stubborn stains on your shirt. It's crucial to address them promptly; otherwise, they might as well be discarded.
Our editor has summarized tips for shirt cleaning.
1) Ink Stains - Rub with rice grains to lift the ink from the fibers. If the ink is too thick and has set for too long, the charcoal particles may have penetrated deeply into the fibers, making it difficult to remove completely.
2) Ballpoint pen stains can be removed with alcohol (白酒 or alcohol-based perfume) to eliminate black or blue marks.
3) Oil Stains - Tackle them with dish soap.
4) Perspiration Stains - Solutions like saltwater, edible vinegar, and ginger solution are all effective.
5) Coffee Stains - Fresh stains can be washed away by immediately scrubbing with hot water. For older stains, apply a mixture of glycerin and egg yolk to the stain, wait for it to slightly dry, then rinse with clean water. Coffee stains on white shirts can be wiped with baking soda, and they will disappear shortly thereafter.
