Tips for cleaning a white shirt: A white shirt is definitely present in every boy’s wardrobe. Be it an office meeting, interview or any special occasion, wearing a white shirt makes you look clean, smart and elegant. But as soon as one loves the white shirt, one also turns away from it.

Why do stains appear quickly on white clothes?
Even a slight stain on the white color becomes immediately visible. When sweat dries, it leaves yellow marks. Dust and sweat combine to form dirt on the collar and sleeves. If food stains are not cleaned in time, they stick to the clothes and become difficult to remove later.
