Shirt Care Tips From Town Laundry Manager
L A Bradley, manager of the State University at Town laundry, advises turning up shirt collars and cuffs before washing to reduce rubbing. Tests show shirts wear faster when collars are unfolded, with 20 washings for typical wear versus longer life when folded. Adding vinegar to the rinse helps prevent brown starch spots and prolongs fabric life. Follow manufacturers’ starching guidance to improve efficiency.
