Rick Rome, Owner of the Manhattan Dry Cleaner Wash Club NYC, Provides Tips to Avoid Ring Stains Around Shirt Collars
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Everyone has experienced the awful realization of nasty ring stains around the collar of shirts. Rick Rome, owner of the eco-friendly dry cleaner in Manhattan, offers the best tips to keep shirt collars clean and free of stains. Unknown to most people, collar stains are not caused by dirt, but by skin rubbing against the cloth of the shirt. People with darker skin actually have darker rings just for this reason.
For all of those hard working men and women out there who just don’t have time to deal with these collar stains, there are several ways to actually prevent the stains before they happen. One of those prevention tips is to apply a small amount of talcum powder to help absorb sweat and oils from skins that can cause collar stains.
There are also several products on the market that were created to help prevent ring around the collar, such as collar guards, and absorbent tape. Most of these products can be found in any drug store, dry cleaner or laundry facility. Others are available for shipping online.
However, for those out there who missed the prevention boat, below are the top 5 tips for cleaning ring around the collar:
1. Take dress shirts to a dry cleaner or wash after every wearing – white and light colored shirts especially.
2. Allow sweat on the shirt collar to dry out before putting it in the hamper, or go over sweat stained area with laundry pretreatment.
3. Scrub shoulders, collar bone, chin and neck well during showers, or before putting shirt on.
4. Minimize the use of any makeup, cosmetics or fragrances around the neck area – often times the collar rings are the aftereffect of these chemicals mixed with sweat.
5. Presoak shirts in warm, soapy water to break up stain, followed with wash. If shirt is still grimy, repeat.
