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:
- 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.
- Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage cotton fibers and cause fading.
- 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.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Ironing inside out can help protect the fabric and any subtle branding.
- Storage: Store folded neatly in a drawer or hung on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the garment's structure.
