For men’s cotton shirts and garments, wash in cold or warm water using a mild detergent, avoid bleach, tumble dry on low or line dry to prevent shrinkage, and iron while slightly damp for best results.

To care for men’s wool jumpers, suits, and knitwear, hand wash in cold water or use a wool cycle with a wool-safe detergent, always lay flat to dry, steam out wrinkles instead of ironing, and store garments folded to avoid stretching.
