Removing Dress Shirt Stains:

If you stain your dress shirt, try to remove the stain right away, before the stain dries and settle into the shirt garment. And please do not iron fresh stains as this will brand the stain permanently into the shirt fabric.

A Quick solution: Dabbed earth stains (clay or mud), with a stain remover or powder detergent . Liquid detergent is best on grease and oily stains. Wet stain and apply powder detergent or squirt stain with liquid detergent and rub in. Hand squash clothing and wash as normal. These tips will work for most stains.

Shirt Ironing and Iron Maintenance:

Check your dress shirt for unsecured buttons and loose threading before ironing or putting away. Even ruff-dried dress shirt should be place on a hanger and hang in a closet or hanging place. Don’t ball and stuff in draws or basket for long periods. If you can, fold the shirt neatly and put away until time to iron it.

Always test the iron temperature before placing the iron on your shirt. Here are eight step by step shirt ironing guidelines with photo demonstration.

Sprinkle or spray a ruff-dry shirt with water and roll into a tight ball. You can place it in a cloths basket or wrap in a bath towel for up to 24 hours before ironing. Linen and 100% cotton dress shirt press out wrinkles much better when damp – not soaked; especially, if the iron is not heating properly. To get the job done right, invest in a good steam iron.

The solution: Spray Starch vs Spray Sizing.

Avoid using spray starch while ironing a dress shirt. The chemicals in the starch will weaken the shirt fibers. Spray starch clogs and block fabric pores, making the shirt sticky in hot climate. Also, depending on whether your steam iron uses tap water or distilled water (bottled water), spray starch will clog iron pore and cause light clothing turn yellowish.

Have you ever noticed your iron getting stuck when ironing? Too much starch can build up on the iron and cause a brown stain, or stick to shirt fabric and ruin it.

Dry Cleaning Dress Shirts:

Dry cleaning your dress shirts is risky business. The chemicals used in the dry cleaning process can harm the fabric; it can turn a light or a white colored shirt yellow. Be on the safe side avoid dry clearning your dress shirts - they'll last much longer.
