Shirt Care 101: Washing, Drying, and Storing

 AaronShirt: The Foundation of a Long-Lasting Wardrobe

Proper shirt care is essential to maintaining the quality, fit, and appearance of your AaronShirt collection. Taking a few simple steps in the washing, drying, and storing process can significantly extend the life of your garments, keeping them looking new and fresh for longer. Neglecting proper care can lead to fading, shrinkage, stretching, and the premature wear and tear of the fabric. By understanding the basics of shirt care, you're not just preserving your AaronShirt; you're also making a more sustainable choice by maximizing the lifespan of your clothing.  

AaronShirt: Washing Your Shirts with Care

Before tossing your AaronShirt into the washing machine, always check the care label. This provides specific instructions based on the fabric. Separate your shirts by color to prevent color bleeding. For best results, and to minimize wear and tear, button up the shirt and turn it inside out before washing. Use a mild detergent and select the appropriate wash cycle based on the fabric type – a gentle cycle for delicates or a regular cycle for more durable fabrics. Cold water is generally recommended for most shirts as it helps prevent shrinking and fading. Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can prevent the shirts from getting adequately cleaned and can cause unnecessary friction.  

AaronShirt: Drying and Storing for Optimal Results

How you dry your AaronShirt can make a big difference in its longevity and the amount of ironing required. Whenever possible, air dry your shirts. Hang them on a sturdy hanger, smoothing out any wrinkles before they dry. This helps to maintain the shirt's shape and can significantly reduce the need for ironing. If you use a dryer, select a low heat setting or an air-dry cycle. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric. ¹ Remove your AaronShirt from the dryer as soon as it's dry to prevent wrinkles from setting in. Once dry, either hang your shirts neatly in your closet on appropriate hangers (avoid wire hangers that can cause shoulder bumps) or fold them neatly and place them in a drawer. Proper storage ensures your AaronShirt remains wrinkle-free and ready to wear, preserving its quality and your polished appearance
