Boys’ short-sleeved shirts are a common style in summer attire. How to properly wash and care for short-sleeved shirts can extend their service life. Here are some professional suggestions:
1. Classified cleaning: First, separate shirts of different colors into different laundry bags to avoid mixing. At the same time, shirts can also be cleaned according to their materials. For example, pure cotton shirts and chemical fiber shirts may be cleaned in different ways.
2. Gentle washing: Choose the appropriate laundry detergent and follow the instructions for use. Avoid using laundry detergents that contain bleach as they can damage the fabric of your shirt. During the laundry process, try to choose a gentler washing mode to avoid excessive friction and twisting, which may cause deformation or wear of the shirt.
3. Hand washing is preferred: If conditions permit, it is best to choose hand washing shirts. Soak the shirt in warm water and an appropriate amount of laundry detergent for a while, then gently rub the shirt, especially the collar and cuffs and other easily dirty parts, and then rinse repeatedly with clean water.
4. Button treatment: Before washing the shirt, unbutton all buttons, including those on the cuffs and collar. This will prevent the shirt from being pulled due to button pressure during the cleaning process, causing the buttons to loosen or the fabric to be damaged.
5. It is better to dry in the shade: Gently squeeze out the excess water from the washed shirt, then lay it flat and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Avoid direct exposure to the sun to prevent the sun’s ultraviolet rays from causing damage to the shirt.
6. Ironing skills: If you need to iron your shirt, you can choose the appropriate temperature and steam volume. Before ironing, make sure there are ironing instructions on the shirt’s label. When ironing, you should start with the sleeves and collar before working on other areas. Avoid over-ironing the same area to avoid burning the fabric.
7. Pay attention to storage: When storing shirts, it is best to hang them to avoid wrinkles caused by folding. Use hangers or hooks in your closet to hang your shirts to keep them tidy.
In short, the correct way to wash and care for boys’ short-sleeved shirts can extend their service life. Classification, gentle washing, hand washing first, button processing, drying in the shade, ironing techniques and attention to storage are the key steps. Hopefully the above tips will help you keep your short-sleeved shirts clean, tidy and durable.
