As\u00a0 one of the professional <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-berrylands\">laundry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-beddington\">dry cleaning<\/a> services in <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/travel-guide-to-london\">London<\/a>, Hamlet Laundry experienced hundreds of thousands of cases about how to care for clothes. We know how important it is to maintain the quality and longevity of your dress shirts. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among these cases Hamlet Laundry found one of the most common troubles that people face about their clothes is how to\u00a0 deal with terrible rings around the collar stain, which is annoying, frosting and time consuming at the same time to erase. In this blog, we are going to share some tips and tricks on how to prevent the ring around the collar stain so that you can be aware of these things and stay smart with your clothes with a pristine outlook.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Read the Care level\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First thing first, no matter what type of clothes you are going to deal with, no matter what you want, a <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/service\/dry-cleaning-service\"><strong>dry cleaning<\/strong><\/a> or laundry wash, <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.hamletlaundry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hamlet Laundry<\/strong><\/a> suggests you go through the care level first. There you will find different instructions and suggestions about your clothes and how to deal with them in different cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Choose the Right Detergent<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of detergent you use can make a big difference in preventing the ring around the collar stain. So, it\u2019s really a crucial factor to <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/choosing-the-right-detergent-a-comprehensive-buying-guide\/\">select an appropriate detergent<\/a> for your fabrics. In terms of that, keep in mind apart from preventing the rings around the collar stain you should prioritize your clothes quality and longevity as well. So, use detergents which are tough on stains but gentle for fabrics at the same time. Try to avoid bleach like harsh detergents that may sabotage your cloth by discoloration and destroying fabric quality. Rather, opt for mild detergents instead which are specially formulated for the\u00a0 dress shirts.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Pre-treat the Collar Stain<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-treatment is always an auxiliary part but plays a vital role to <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-canary-wharf\">clean<\/a> or wash\u00a0 anything. Hamlet laundry suggests applying some baking soda and water mixture or any allowed stain remover over the affected area of your fabric. Let it be there for 15 to 20 minutes. This mixture will react with dirt, sweat and oil and weaken them gradually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Wash in Cold Water<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot water can cause the collar area to shrink and make the fabric more prone to discoloration. Always <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/dress-shirts-how-to-prevent-the-ring-around-the-collar-stain\/\"><strong>wash your dress shirts<\/strong><\/a> in cold water to prevent the ring around the collar stain from setting in. If possible, use a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washing machine to ensure that the shirt is cleaned thoroughly without being subjected to excessive agitation.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Hang Dry<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryer is a shortcut option to dry your clothes fast. But, Sometimes this can sabotage your clothes. Drying a dress in a dryer can make your collar area distorted that may form the ring around the collar stain. That\u2019s why, instead of using a dryer, we suggest that you hang your dress in an open and well ventilated area.\u00a0 In this case, don\u2019t forget to use a clothespin or hanger to prevent the collar from distorted or stretching out of shape.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Avoid Heavy Fragrances<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all love perfumes or fragrances. But most often they contain hazardous chemicals that may discolor your whole shirt or collar area. To prevent this avoid using heavy fragrances and heavy scented perfumes. For more safety try to avoid heavy heavily scented fabric softeners and detergents as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Rotate Your Shirts<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing the same dress shirt repeatedly without washing it can cause sweat and oil buildup, leading to the ring around the collar stain. Try to rotate your dress shirts and avoid wearing the same shirt for multiple days in a row.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Use a Collar Stay<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collar stay is mainly a flat piece of plastic or metal which is small in size inserted into the collar of your dress shirt to help to\u00a0 maintain its shape. Using a collar stay can be a good technique to prevent the collar from distorting thus it also reduces the chance of ring around the collar stain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Consider Collar Guards<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collar guard is a circle-like strip that is usually put into the collar of a dress shirt to support the collar from misshapen. It is effective\u00a0 when you are used to using your dress shirt for a long period of time or sweat heavily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Store Shirts Properly<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After washing and drying your dress shirts, make sure to store them properly to prevent the formation of the ring around the collar stain. Hang your shirts in a well-ventilated area and avoid overcrowding them in the closet. If possible, use wooden hangers to help maintain the shape of the collar.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Professional Cleaning<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re struggling to remove the ring around the collar stain, it may be time to consider professional cleaning.
