The shirt has long ceased to be synonymous with business and classic style in clothing, which is why you can find this item in almost any wardrobe.

That is why any self-respecting housewife has probably asked herself the question of how to properly wash shirts.

It turns out that there is nothing complicated about this – you just need to decide on the fabric from which the item is made.

So, if you have a cotton or linen shirt in your hands, you can safely send it to the wash at a temperature of 90 degrees. In order to put the product in order, both powder and liquid detergent will do, but it is better to refuse the "spin" and "drying" modes.

Instead, let the water drain naturally and hang the shirt to dry.

The acceptable water temperature for washing silk shirts is 40 degrees.

The "Spin" function is also prohibited in this case. Ironing silk items should be done at the lowest temperature.

Finally, synthetics can be washed at 50 degrees. Unlike the previous options, you can safely spin the item by selecting the 800 rpm mode.

But ironing such clothes should be done with extreme caution - it is better to avoid contact of the fabric with the iron altogether.
