OT topic started: dry cleaning, specifically when it comes to work clothes.

I dry clean my suits and pants, no problem there, but what about dress shirts? Currently I just throw all my dress shirts into my wash at home and iron them, but it seems like the dryer is starting to take its toll on the collars and other areas of my shirts.

I know dry cleaning would probably take much better care of my shirts, but it just seems so cost prohibitive to spend $15+ every week to dry clean my white dress shirts.

Anyone have any tips on this matter?

2 words…..NON IRON. They cost a little more than normal dress shirts, but they are worth it.

I iron all my clothes except for suits and jackets.

Light starch ftw.

Do you think it's the ironing that is really damaging the shirt? I feel like it's the time the shirt spends in the dryer with the high heat that is what is mainly damaging it.

get them out of the washer and hang to dry -> very few, if any, wrinkles and no additional tear and wear in a dryer. I also prefer non-iron. If I wear a regular shirt, Dawn Wrinkle Releaser works magic; but you need to allow additional time for it to dry.

Yes. It's the dryer that's ruining your shirts. You live in Cali so there's ample sunlight. Why don't you hang dry them?

I think I may just try the hang dry, see how it goes. Summer is almost here, too, so my shirts will probably dry very quickly.
