Washing

• Wash your T-shirts at 30°C, using the lowest spin cycle. Use the wool cycle for merino wool T-shirts.
• Turn them inside out before washing to preserve the color and fabric.
• Avoid overloading the machine and wash with similar colors.

Note: A T-shirt made from a heavier, denser cotton jersey can withstand machine washing at a slightly higher temperature or with a slightly higher spin speed. However, you should exercise some caution and avoid washing a lighter, summery T-shirt made from a slightly more breathable jersey too aggressively.

Drying

• Opt for air-drying
• For a lighter, more breathable T-shirt, lay-flat drying is recommended to prevent the garment from stretching under its own weight
• Avoid the dryer, which can cause the garment to shrink or lose its shape
  

How often?

A T-shirt naturally needs to be washed more often than the rest of your wardrobe: generally after 1 to 2 wears, depending on how often you wear it.

A merino wool T-shirt can be washed every 5 to 10 wears, thanks to the wool’s antibacterial properties and its more frequent use in the fall and winter, when it’s cooler.

The Case of the White T-Shirt

The white T-shirt is a wardrobe staple for men. But over time, a white T-shirt can turn yellow, especially around the collar and underarms. The main cause: a mixture of sweat, sebum, and deodorant residue. What can you do?

How Can You Prevent Yellowing?

• Wash your white T-shirt right after wearing it, especially if you’ve been sweating
• Avoid deodorants that are high in oils or aluminum

How to fix a yellowed collar?

• Apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly to the area
• Rub very gently (with your fingers or a soft brush)
• Let it sit for a few minutes before washing

For more severe cases: you can use a mild stain remover suitable for whites
