Clothing Care

Pique means a raised, textured weave with small ridges. What it feels like, cotton vs polyester vs wool pique, and which polo shirts use it.

How to read clothing care labels: wash, dry, iron, and bleach symbols explained. What the numbers mean so you follow the right temperature.

How to fold a polo shirt for packing: lay flat, fold sleeves, sides in, half fold. Best way for a suitcase without crushing the collar.

How to sanitize delicate clothes: active oxygen bleach, 30-40°C cycles, separate loads. Safer than chlorine for wool, fine cotton, and viscose.

How to wash polo shirts: check the label, gentle cycle, cold or warm by fiber, air dry preferred. Can you tumble dry? Only on delicate for cotton.
