How to Keep Your White Shirts Bright

There's nothing like a crisp, white shirt. Whether you're wearing it to the office or out on a date, a white shirt always looks clean and put-together. But if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering how to keep your white shirts looking bright after multiple washes.

Well, wonder no more! Here are some easy tips from screen print shops for keeping your white shirts looking their best.

1. Check the care label: The first step is always to check the care label on your shirt. Many people make the mistake of assuming that all white shirts should be washed in hot water, but that's not always the case. In fact, hot water can actually set stains, so it's important to check the care label to see what temperature the fabric can handle.

2. Pre-treat any stains: Once you've checked the care label, it's time to pre-treat any stains that might be on the shirt. My personal favorite stain remover is OxiClean, but there are plenty of other options out there. Just be sure to follow the directions on the package so that you don't damage the fabric.

3. Wash in cold water: Unless the care label says otherwise, always wash your white shirts in cold water. Hot water can cause colors to bleed and fabrics to shrink, so it's best to err on the side of caution and stick with cold water.

If you're worried about getting your shirt clean enough in cold water, you can always add a little bit of bleach to the load. Just be sure to use non-chlorine bleach so that it doesn't damage the fabric.

4. Hang dry or tumble dry low: Once your shirt has been washed, hang it up to dry or tumble dry it on low heat. High heat can cause colors to fade and fabrics to wrinkle, so it's best to avoid it if possible. If you do need to use high heat, be sure to remove the shirt from the dryer as soon as it's done so that it doesn't get damaged by sitting in there for too long.

Wrap Up!

With these easy tips, you'll be able to keep your white shirts looking bright and new wash after wash! Just remember to check the care label before washing, pre-treat any stains, wash in cold water, and hang dry or tumble dry low. With a little bit of effort, you can keep your white shirts looking their best for years to come!
