How to Wash Shirts So They Look Like New: The Washing Machine Won't Help

As a rule, thin and delicate fabrics are used to make shirts.

For this reason, you should not trust household appliances to wash your clothes, since even the most delicate mode can negatively affect the integrity of the fibers.

Don't be upset - if you follow the instructions below, hand washing shirts won't be a big deal, and the result will be, frankly speaking, brilliant.

So, first, fill a basin with warm water and dissolve the detergent in it.

If the item is very worn, it makes sense to first rub the particularly dirty areas with laundry soap.

Leave the shirt in the basin for 5-10 minutes, after which you can start washing. Important: do not rub hard, just slightly crush the shirt and remove it from the water.

Rinsing also has its own peculiarities when hand washing shirts – it will be better if you rinse the shirt under running water. This way the detergent will definitely be washed out of the fabric. This advice is especially relevant for dark shirts.

Do not wring out the item; instead, hang it on a crossbar to allow the water to drain naturally.
