Caring for my shirt

How to wash, dry, and iron your shirt? Follow these simple tips to preserve the beauty and quality of your shirts for a long time.

Washing

1. Sort your laundry by color

• Always separate whites from dark colors.

2. Prepare your shirt

• Lift the collar and remove the stays if your shirt has them.

3. Protect your laundry

• Close zippers and ensure nothing can snag your clothes.

4. Wash at low temperature

• Prefer a 30°C wash to preserve the fibers.

5. Pre-treat stains

• Use a stain remover before washing if necessary (e.g., yellow stains).

6. Avoid fabric softener

• It damages fibers and reduces the fabric's lifespan.

7. Be careful with spinning

• Choose a gentle spin cycle (maximum 900 rpm) to avoid deep wrinkles.

8. Do not use a tumble dryer

• Air drying preserves the fibers.

9. Dry immediately on a hanger

• Hang your shirt on a hanger as soon as it comes out of the machine to avoid wrinkles and minimize ironing.

Note for ironing stretch fabrics:
Our french poplin contains 80% organic cotton and 20% innovative synthetic fibers, making it easy to iron and slightly stretchy. But you can't iron it too hot !
Recommended temperature: Use a steam station or if you have an old style iron set it to level 2 (out of 3).

Tip: Removing Yellow Stains

Yellow stains may appear on the collars of white shirts.

Solution: Apply a stain remover spray (available in supermarkets) to the affected areas, let it sit for a few minutes, then wash as usual.
