Shirts are one of the most widely worn items of clothing for men. They can be made to look smart, casual or chic, depending on the fabric and what pants(In Swedish byxor) you pair them with. The most comfortable and durable material used is cotton. It is ideal for warm weathers as it absorbs sweat and heat.
However, as comfy and practical as they may be, cotton shirts can be notoriously stubborn when it comes to wrinkles. As the fabric is so light, it tends to crinkle easily. If you’re a fan of cotton and have a wardrobe full of them, you need to know how to take care of them. Below are some pointers to keep in mind to maintain cotton clothing(In Swedish kläder).
Since cotton absorbs sweat, it tends to stain easily. But you can prevent this if you pre-treat the material with a stain remover which will make it more resistible to stains and other foreign elements. When using a stain remover, apply liberally to the armpit areas, collar and cuffs.
When washing cotton shirts or pants, use cool or warm water. Avoid very strong bleaches, detergents and hot water especially on colored clothing as the color can run.
Don’t leave the clothes in the dryer for too long as this will add to the wrinkles. Instead, take it out immediately and iron to offset the occurrence of wrinkles. Or, hang it out under the sun and iron later.
It is advised that cotton clothing be hung instead of folded as lines can form.
To prevent the material from curling, spray starch on the collars and cuffs of your shirts.
While machine washing your cotton pants and other clothing is usually the norm, it is advised that you hand-wash them and let them air dry.
Keep in mind that using starch too often can cause the material to become thin and worn. As such, try to temper the use of starch and other strong solutions.
Like all materials, cotton should be treated with care. The best way to know how to treat your clothes is to read the washing instructions given. This will help your clothes to last longer.
