How do I wash black and white shirts without ruining them?

Question

Am I able to wash these in the machine?

Please give answers for cotton, linen and polyester.

Answer 1

Machine wash in cold water with your favorite laundry deter-

gent.  You can wash just about everything in cold water as

not to ruin your clothes.  The only thing that I wouldn't wash in

cold water would be towels, washcloths, dishtowels, and

dishcloths and rags.  Just make sure that you separate the colored things from the light colored things and you shouldn't

have any problems.

Answer 2

The safest way would be hand washing your clothes.

Answer 3

well no 1 i would ask you if the colors are mixed black and white or did you mean , a black shirt and a white shirt, if the one shirt is black and white, and is cotton always i would use a mild soap and cold water. if shirts are black, never wash them with white, always sort your colors. for polyester never use warm or hot water and dont put them in the dryer. they last longer that way. linen cool to warm water and dry only slightly, and you will have to get an iron for linen it wrinkles easily. good luck

Answer 4

The first few times you wash the black shirt, wash it with other blacks, but if its been washed many times, it's okay to was them together. Care instructions on the shirt can tell you more than I can.

Answer 5

put them in the wash with a purple towel, they'll be fine,

Answer 6

same answer as hopeless

Answer 7

Wash them separate.

If they are expensive shirts, I would get them dry-cleaned.

Otherwise cold, gentle wash.
