To prevent significant shrinkage, the best approach is to hand-wash your garment or stick to the coldest and most delicate cycles on your washing machine. Remember, Claudio shirts are meticulously crafted, and they only risk shrinking in length when exposed to concentrated detergents, excess heat, or being washed with heavier fabrics. Treat your shirt with care, and it will maintain its pristine fit and luxurious feel.

• Temperature Matters: Always wash your shirts at a maximum of 30°C to prevent substantial shrinkage.
• Choose the Right Detergent: Opt for a non-bio detergent and avoid bleach at all costs.
• Speed is Key: Select the FAST WASH option with minimal cycles to gently cleanse your garment.
• Selective Pairing: Wash your shirt solo or with other thin, light, and soft fabrics. Think shirts with shirts! Avoid mixing with heavy items like jeans or jackets that can damage the delicate fabric.

• Button Up & Inside Out: Fasten all buttons and turn your shirt inside out before washing to protect the fabric and buttons.
• Avoid Heavyweights: Don't wash your shirt with bulky items like heavy t-shirts, jeans, or jackets, as they can damage the fabric, causing it to harden and shrink.
• Use a Washing Bag: For added protection, place your shirt in a washing bag or pillowcase. This prevents fabric wear and avoids seams catching in the drum.
• Collar Stays: Remove collar stays before washing to prevent uneven wear on the collar points and avoid losing them in the wash.

• Slightly Damp is Best: For optimal results, iron your shirt when it's almost dry but still slightly damp.
• Watch Your Water: Use filtered water in your iron to prevent rust build-up that could stain your shirt.
• Flat and Crease-Free: Place the shirt on a flat ironing board, and press down until the fabric is dry and crease-free. Set the iron to the Cotton setting for best results.
