In certain situations, dry cleaning is better for dress shirts than laundering. For instance, when the shirts are made of special fabrics that don’t do well with the traditional washers and dryers or water. Or, in case there are stubborn stains that cannot be washed away with water and detergent and require extra treatment. The dry cleaning process lifts oil and dirt in a gentle way from material and fibers that do not react well to water. In this case, O’Dry usually recommends dry cleaning of shirts.
In most of the cases, it is, undoubtedly, better to launder men’s shirts to effectively remove the skin oils and body odor. While the dry cleaning chemicals are superior in removing certain stains and cleaning delicate fabrics, proper shirt laundering can ultimately be better for your shirt in the long run.
Whatever option you choose, we at O’Dry are here to help you. Often times, it is best simply to ask the opinion of a dry cleaning professional whether a particular piece of clothing is better suited for laundry or dry clean. You don’t even need to bring your items to us. Order online and we will pick up the shirts, wash and deliver them back to you.
