1、Daily Washing:
For common stains such as dirt and light sweat stains, putting them directly into the washing machine is a convenient option. It is recommended to use a mild detergent as too strong detergents may damage the fibers of the clothing. Also, use cold water because hot water may make it more difficult to remove stains and may cause the clothing to shrink or become distorted.
Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fibers of the clothing, especially for cotton T-shirts, which may cause the clothing to become weak and easily torn. In addition, bleach may make the color of the clothing uneven and affect the aesthetics.
2、Hand wash:
For some more sensitive or easily distorted white T-shirts, hand washing is a better option. First, soak the clothes in warm water and add the right amount of detergent. Then, gently scrub the stained area, avoiding too much force to avoid damage to the clothing. Finally, rinse with clean water.
After washing, do not wring out the garment, but press gently to remove excess water. Then, lay the garment flat to dry in a dry, ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight to avoid discoloration.
3、Pretreat stains:
Pre-treating is a very important step for more difficult stains such as grease and food stains. You can use items such as detergent, toothpaste, and dishwashing liquid to apply to the stain and let it sit for a while. These pretreatments will help break down the stain and make it easier to clean.
When pretreating, you can choose the right pretreater for the type of stain. For example, for grease stains, you can use detergent; for food stains, you can use toothpaste or detergent. Also, be careful to avoid applying the pretreatment agent to other parts of the clothing when pretreating to avoid contaminating other areas.
4、Treating stubborn stains:
For some stubborn stains, such as ink and blood, you may need to use a specialized cleaner or bleach. Please note, however, that before using these cleaners, it is important to conduct a small test on an inconspicuous part of the garment to ensure that it will not cause damage.
If the stains are still difficult to remove, it is advisable to seek the help of a professional laundry. Professional laundries have more advanced equipment and more specialized techniques to better deal with all kinds of stubborn stains.
5、De-yellowing treatment:
For the yellowing problem of white t-shirts caused by long time wearing or improper storage, you can use some natural items to treat it. For example, lemon juice, white vinegar or rice water have some yellowing removal effects. Soaking the garment in these solutions for some time before washing it will help remove yellow stains.
When using these natural items, take care to dilute them in the right proportions and avoid soaking them for a long time to avoid damage to your clothes. Also, take care to rinse the clothes thoroughly after washing to remove any residual detergent.
6、Air drying:
After washing white T-shirts should be avoided direct sun exposure. The ultraviolet rays in the sun will make the clothing yellow and accelerate aging. It is best to hang the clothes in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight.
If the weather conditions do not allow drying, you can also choose to use the dryer for drying. However, please note that the temperature of the dryer should not be too high to avoid damage to the clothes.
7、Regular replacement and maintenance:
In order to maintain the cleanliness and whiteness of your white T-shirt, it is recommended that you change and maintain your clothing regularly. Do not wear the same garment for a long time to avoid accumulation of stains and sweat. Also, pay attention to the way you store your clothes to avoid moisture and mold growth.
When storing clothes, you can choose to hang them on hangers or fold them neatly. Avoid storing clothes in damp or dark places to avoid the growth of mold and bacteria.
