Surprised? Read on😉
Even though you would agree that the benefit of using starch on your shirts is a crisp look and resistance to wrinkles, unfortunately, there are downsides to it too.🙂
Your shirts become stiffer and their lifespan reduced.😣
This is because, the starch residue can settle into the clothing overtime, which can cause threads to break and fray.😩
To prevent this:
✅ Consider using light starch - it will make for a crisp shirt, but won’t wear out quite as easily as a heavily starched shirt.
✅If you intend to clean your shirt, it is important to let your cleaner (Lexielaundry & Cleaners of course😉) know if you want light, medium or heavy starch applied.
In summary, the life expectancy of your shirt can vary with the amount of starch you use, the amount of strain you place on your shirts while wearing them, type of fabric, and the laundering process.👌
In all, moderation is key!🤩
