CLEANING
TIPS & ADVICE
SHIRT SHRINKAGE
Cotton and cotton/polyester shirts will shrink over their
lifetime. 1% to 3% shrinkage is normal according to
the cotton industry. One half inch in the collar and
one inch in the sleeve length represents 3% shrinkage.
To extend the life of your garment Highland recommends
purchasing dress shirts slightly larger than needed to
anticipate the inevitable.
SPOT REMOVAL
The best advice we can give you about removing spots
is: don't try it yourself. Rubbing spots with a
wet napkin can remove color and set the stain. Home
remedies like club soda and hair spray usually only make
matters worse. Bring your spotted garments to us
instead. Our spotters, with decades of experience,
know the correct chemicals and methods to remove spots
safely.
