Armani black label shirts

[Mr Garcia]

Hi Styleforum thought that maybe someone in here could help me out

I just got 3 armani black label shirts in 100% cotton and my question is how am i gonna wash them the right way? Also some drying tips could be super

I have another shirt in 100% cotton where the label inside says ''Do not dry clean'' Does that mean i cannot dry clean my black labels as there 100% cotton aswell? Any help would be nice! btw i flat dry my shirts buttoned up

Soak in your bathroom sink with a drop of detergent.

Dry cleaning is an unpleasant process using a lot of chemicals and should only be used on fabrics what wont stand up to warm water and detergent and even then should only be done when absolutely necessary.

Cotton can be safely washed using normal "wet" methods and so shouldnt ever be dry cleaned.

Wash on gentle with a mild detergent and drip dry.

Thanks for the answers, guess i do it right then

Should i button up my shirts when flat drying? Or is there a better way to dry them?

 

[Caustic Man]

Buttoning doesn't matter.

Over a line or do you mean by hangin them to dry on a hanger? hangin a shirt to dry on a hanger can ruin the shape over time. Dont know about a line though, thanks for the answer

 

[Mr Garcia]

Thanks I will remember

Personally I dry them hanging on a hanger with just collar and 2nd button done up but I doubt it makes a big difference. Theory being the weight of the wet fabric will reduce the creases.

With wool and other fabrics that are prone to stretching then flat drying is the way to go.

I use a clothes horse.

I also dry hanging up. It doesn't ruin the shape. I never did to any of my shirts over the years.
