Fabric Care & Maintenance

Longevity depends as much on care as it does on construction. Proper maintenance protects the integrity and polish of each piece.

  • 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.

  • Minimise Fabric Conditioner

    Whenever possible, minimise the use of 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.

  • Dry Cleaning

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