Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Cotton is prone to shrinking if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always wash in cold water (30°C) and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Gentle reshaping while damp can sometimes help.

Color is fading or looking dull after several washes.

Ensure you are washing the shirt inside out with cold water and a mild, color-safe detergent. Harsh detergents, hot water, and excessive sun exposure during drying can accelerate fading. Consider using a laundry booster for dark colors.

Fabric feels stiff or rough after drying.

This can be caused by hard water or too much detergent. Try using less detergent, adding a fabric softener during the rinse cycle, or adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse water (it acts as a natural softener).

Polo collar or cuffs lose their shape.

Avoid overstretching the collar and cuffs when putting on or taking off the shirt. Always wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low to help them retain their elasticity and shape. Ironing on a low setting can also help re-form the collar.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality, color, and fit of your 100% cotton polo shirt. Follow these guidelines for best results:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. It is advisable to turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the fabric surface and color.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage cotton fibers and cause fading.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to dry. Air drying helps prevent shrinkage and maintains the shirt's original shape. Avoid high heat.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Ironing inside out can help protect the fabric and any subtle branding.
  5. Storage: Store folded neatly in a drawer or hung on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the garment's structure.
