Any tips on washing button ups? My shirts are tailored and I get nervous everytime I wash them cause I think i will fukk em up.

Any way I can wash them without having to worry about color bleeding/fading, shrinkage, etc? Cold/Cold? Hang dry? Hand wash?

thx

if your washing machine don't have a delicate cycle then I advise you to pay a little extra and take them to the cleaners.

I think it does. What about drying?


Also what are your thoughts on steamers? I heard the fabric lasts longer doing that vs ironing.

Wash it on that one then and hang them up in the bathroom and let them dry. I don't recommend drying them in the dryer.

Well only type of steaming I do with my clothes is turn the shower on extra hot and hang my wrinkled clothes in the bathroom with the door close for an hour or two. LOL I know its ghetto/old fashioned :lolbron:

But thats how my mom taught me.

You let your shower run two hours??.....Lake Michigan going look like Death Valley messing with you....

I hate when someone else is drying my shirts and they shrink up.......I usually just put my shirts on a hanger in the bathroom to dry them, but if you saying wasting 100s of gallons of water is the way :leon:, I'll give it a shot one day.... :sadcam:
