Best way to care for polos in the wash? I presume they dont need to be laundered.

I'm thinking cold light wash, delicate detergent, tumble dry low for a few minutes, then hang dry?

Any tips are appreciated.

I use that conditions with my shirts, but when it comes to polos I'm not that careful. 30ºC if dark, 40ºC if light and regular washing (and ironing).

I machine wash polos inside out with cold water on gentle/knit cycle and then hang dry.

i wash in cold then hang dry, at least until i forget to hang it up. then the proverbial dryer cherry has been popped and i just toss them in from there on out. but i do at least try to unfold the collar before going to the dryer

I'm just timid because I've had some mishaps with the washing/drying with my burberry, lacoste, rlpl polos in the past and the fabric losing it's luster. I'll try out the easy eashing and hang drying. Appreciate the tips fellas.
