How to Launder Polo Shirts



Polo shirts such as Children's cotton polos are a popular fashion choice for children. Fortunately, polo shirts made from cotton or a cotton-blend knit are machine-washable when soiled. Properly laundering polo shirts will help keep them looking fresh and new for years. 


Instructions


1
Pretreat stains on your polo shirts before laundering. Apply laundry pretreatment product to the stain and allow it to sit according to manufacturer's instructions. Use only cold water to presoak stained items since hot water can set some stains.
2
Sort laundry by like colors and add the polo shirts to the sorted piles that best represent their colors.
3
Place the load of laundry, including your polo shirts, into the washing machine and add detergent according to manufacturer's instructions. If the shirt has a protein stain, such as one caused by food or bodily fluids, wash it in cold water. If the shirt is not stained, set the washer for a warm water wash and cold rinse.
4
Check the polo shirt to make sure it is clean before putting it in the dryer, since hot temperatures can set some stains. If the shirt remains stained, retreat and relaunder before drying.
5
Dry the load of laundry including the polo shirt in the dryer set to a low temperature to reduce shrinking. Remove the shirt from the dryer promptly to reduce wrinkling.
