What is the best way to wash cotton shirts?

1. Sort: Separate colored and white cotton shirts to prevent color bleeding.

2. Pretreat Stains: Apply a stain remover to any stains before washing.

3. Machine Wash: Use a washing machine set to a warm or cool water temperature to prevent shrinkage. Choose a gentle cycle.

4. Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for colored or white fabrics, depending on the shirt type.

5. Avoid Bleach: Avoid using bleach, as it can weaken the fabric and cause yellowing.

6. Rinse: Rinse the shirts thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent.

7. Drying: Hang dry the shirts to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

8. Ironing (if needed): Iron the shirts while slightly damp to remove wrinkles. Use the appropriate heat setting for cotton.

9. Storage: Store cotton shirts neatly folded or hung in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkling and fading.

10. Avoid Over-washing: Wash cotton shirts only when necessary to extend their lifespan.
