FABRIC TLC: Caring for A White Shirt.

Ensuring Longevity & Sustainability

At A White Shirt, we are committed to creating garments that stand the test of time. Proper care of your shirt will ensure it looks its best & contributes to a more sustainable wardrobe. Follow these simple fabric homecare tips to maintain the longevity & durability of your White Shirts.

Take extra care with items recommended for dry cleaning. Choose a reputable business that will care for your clothes as much as you do.

  • WASH SMART

    Use cold water & a gentle cycle to maintain the durability of the fabric & save energy. Handwashing is an optimal alternative. Avoid harsh detergents; instead, opt for eco-friendly alternatives.

  • AVOID FABRIC CONDITIONER

    Whenever possible, avoid using fabric conditioner on natural fabrics, as it can coat the fibres, reducing their breathability & ultimately shortening the life of the fabric.

  • AIR DRY

    Skip the dryer & let your shirt air dry. This not only reduces energy consumption but also prevents shrinkage & maintains fabric integrity.

  • IRON WITH CARE

    If needed, iron your shirt on a low setting. To avoid damage, use a pressing cloth or iron your shirt inside out.

  • STORE PROPERLY

    Use the garment cover provided with your shirt. This helps protect your shirt from dust & damage, extending its life & maintaining its quality.

  • SPOT CLEAN

    For small stains, spot clean with a mild detergent to reduce the frequency of full washes. At A White Shirt, we are huge fans of cold-pressed coconut laundry soap!

  • USE A MESH BAG

    Mesh laundry bags are recommended to protect delicate items during machine cycles. These will ensure that your shirt is gently cleaned but not twisted and turned too much during washing.
