Washing
When washing shirts, there are three important criteria to pay attention to – colour, recommended water temperature and spin speed.
Sorting
Before washing, sort the shirts by colour. For white shirts, a detergent with a bleaching effect is often used. Coloured and black shirts, on the other hand, should be washed with a detergent that helps preserve their colours.
Washing temperature
Check the maximum washing temperature on the label, which every shirt should have.
Spin speed
Setting the spin speed is very important, if not the most important. This is because too high a speed can damage the individual fibres. We recommend washing shirts at a spin speed of max. 400.
Extra care
If you want to give your shirts exceptional care, place them in the washing machine in a special laundry bag or in a pillowcase.
Drying
Never tumble-dry shirts. Hang them on a hanger and let them air-dry.
Ironing
You should iron them while they are still damp, but if they have already dried completely, lightly dampen them with a spray bottle or use a steam iron.
Storage
Store them hanging on a hanger. If you do not have enough space in your wardrobe, fold them carefully.
Tip
You can take your shirts to a dry cleaner – but choose carefully.
