How to Launder Cotton Polo Shirts
- 1). Sort laundry into like-colored and like-fabric piles. Always wash similar colors together to prevent stains from bleeding fabrics. For example, a black polo will discolor a white polo, therefore do not wash them together. Place polo shirts into the appropriate piles.
- 2). Apply laundry stain remover or non-bleach detergent to any stains, according to label instructions. Allow remover or detergent to soak into stains for at least one hour.
- 3). Add laundry detergent to the washing machine according to label instructions. Add fabric softener is you desire. Select a wash cycle. For loads containing white polo shirts, use a warm-water cycle. For dark colors, use a cold-water cycle to prevent fading. Use a cold-water cycle no matter the color of polo shirts to prevent shrinking, if necessary. Begin the wash cycle, adding clothes once the washing machine is approximately halfway filled with water.
- 4). Remove the clothes once the washing cycle is complete. Cotton polo shirts can either be hung on a drying rack or dried on a low-heat setting in a clothes dryer. If needed, iron the polo shirts using the cotton setting.
