A: Start with a clean, slightly damp shirt or use a spray bottle to mist it:

1. Begin with the collar—iron from the tips toward the center.
2. Move to the cuffs, ironing the inside and outside.
3. Lay the shirt flat and iron the sleeves.
4. Iron the back and front panels, finishing with the placket (button area).
   
   Tip: Use the right heat setting for the fabric (cotton, polyester blend, etc.) and avoid lingering too long to prevent scorch marks.

A: Lay the shirt face down, buttoned:

1. Fold one sleeve and side inward toward the center.
2. Repeat on the other side.
3. Fold the bottom of the shirt up toward the collar.
   
   This keeps the shirt neat and compact.

A: Use the same method as above but with extra care:

• Place a sheet of tissue paper or a plastic dry-cleaner bag between folds to reduce wrinkles.
• Pack shirts on top in your suitcase.
• Alternatively, roll the shirt gently instead of folding to minimize creasing.

A: Treat stains before washing:

• Mix baking soda with water to make a paste and rub it into the stain.
• Or, use white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide (safe on whites) before laundering.
• Wash in cold or warm water, not hot, as heat can set stains.
  
  For tough stains, a commercial stain remover designed for sweat marks works best.

A: You’ll need a soft measuring tape:

1. Neck
   Measure around the base of the neck where the collar sits.
2. Chest
   Measure under the arms around the fullest part of the chest.
3. Sleeve length – Measure from the center back of the neck, across the shoulder, down to the wrist.
4. Waist
   Measure around the narrowest part of the waist.
5. Shoulder width – Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
   
   These ensure the right fit when selecting shirt sizes.

A: For a clean look:

1. Unbutton the cuff and gauntlet (the small sleeve button).
2. Fold the cuff once so it’s inside out and flat.
3. Fold again, covering the cuff completely.
4. For a casual style, fold a third time to just below the elbow.
   
5. Tip: The “master roll” method (tucking the cuff inside the roll) creates a neater, less bulky look.

• Everyday care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold or warm water.
• White shirts: Wash separately or with other whites, using oxygen-based bleach for brightness.
• Stain care: Pre-treat collars, cuffs, and underarms before washing.
• Drying:
  Hang immediately to avoid wrinkles, or tumble dry on low and remove promptly.
  
  For delicate or high-quality shirts, consider professional laundering.
