How to Remove Tea Stains From T-Shirts?

1 Reply

A tea stain can seem like a terrible stain to try to get out of the T-shirt, but there are far worse stains that people are able to remove. A tea stain on a T-shirt does not have to mean that the T-shirt must be thrown away. There are many ways to get the stain out of the T-shirt and to get it looking the way it did before the tea was spilled. In other words, there’s no reason to cry over spilt tea.

One of the most important things to remember with any type of stain is to treat that stain as fast as you are able to treat it. That means getting to it quickly and treating it before it has the opportunity to set too deeply into the fabric. Once a stain gets set into the fabric, it becomes much more difficult to get it out again. If you have a stain that has not been on the T-shirt for very long, there’s a much higher chance of being able to get it out.

If the spill just happened, take off the T-shirt and rinse it with very cold water. If the stain is a small, you may be able to put water on the T-shirt while you are still wearing it. Otherwise, take it off and run it under the faucet or in a cold stream or whatever source of cold water is most convenient at the time. If you don’t have a source of cold water, use hot water if you have it. Hot water can have the unfortunate effect of setting the stain if the tea has been on the T-shirt for very long, however. So if it has been more than a few minutes since the tea was spilled, don’t try hot water.

A fresh stain will generally respond very well to cold water. If rinsing the T-shirt in cold water doesn’t get rid of the tea, try soaking it in a tub of cold water for several minutes.  This should release much of the tea. If that still doesn’t work, use a laundry spray to try to lift the tea out of the T-shirt before it sets into the fabric. These sprays are high-powered detergents that will pre-treat the stain and lift much of it away before the T-shirt is washed. Once you have pretreated the stain according to the label of the spray, wash the T-shirt in the laundry as soon as possible.

Use cold water to wash the T-shirt, even if it looks like most of the tea stain has been taken out of the fabric. If there is any of the tea still left in the cotton, using warm or hot water can cause it to bind permanently to the fabric. This can make it impossible to remove the stain without using bleach. If the T-shirt is a plain white shirt, or if the tea lands on a plain white portion of the T-shirt, bleach is another alternative to getting the stain out. Using a small amount of bleach can lift the stain away and make the T-shirt look just the way it did before.

How to Choose a T-Shirt to Show off Your Breasts

When you want to show off your breasts, there are few things that are better to wear then a T-shirt. The nature of cotton means that the material will hug the shape and will mold itself to the woman’s figure. Cotton T-shirts will develop a memory after being worn several times, and their shape will conform to your shape. If you want to make your breasts as noticeable as possible, wearing a cotton T-shirt that is tight around the breasts means that the T-shirt will stretch itself to accommodate your shape. That means a well fitting T-shirt and one that will not hide the breasts away from public notice.

If you want them to get the maximum attention, you might even try to wear a T-shirt that is a size too small. This will force the eye to notice your curves. The first time you wear a T-shirt that is a little too tight; the shirt may act in a slightly concealing way. It might push down on your curves and make them less noticeable. However, wear the T-shirt several times and you will soon see that it has stretched and its new shape is a powerful way to enhance your breasts.

Another quick way to get plenty of attention for your breasts is to wear a bright color that will command everyone’s attention to them. That attention might be attracted by the bright color, but that attention will stay because of the shape that you are showing off. A great bright color to wear is a bright yellow. Bright yellow is one of the most eye-catching of all the available colors. Wearing something that is bright yellow never fails to get attention. And if you’re ready to show off your breasts, you will first need to gain attention.

If you further want plenty of attention to your bust line, you may also want to design something with shapes, colors, or other designs that will enhance that area. Bright colors attract the eye and make things seem larger. Dark colors make things seem smaller than they are. So, the T-shirt that is darker on the bottom and lighter at the top will bring the eye up to the area that is lightest. If the bust area is light and the rest of the T-shirt is a very dark color, all the attention that comes to you will be focused on your breasts.

There are other ways that people design T-shirts in order to get the most attention they can for their breasts. This can include placing two large symbols or pictures at the bust line. Some people choose bunches of grapes, and there also T-shirts that feature fried eggs or other round items in order to get the most attention possible on that area. If that doesn’t seem entirely up your alley, you might try a few words printed across the chest.  If the words are small, people will have to get close and look at your chest in order to be able to read them.

How Long Will a Regular T-Shirt Last When I Am Pregnant?

Not being able to wear your favorite clothing can often be one of the hardest parts of being pregnant. Understandably, many women attempt to wear the clothing that they are familiar with and are comfortable in for as long as possible. And when you’re already uncomfortable because of a pregnancy, the comfort of a t-shirt can be very important.

When you first become pregnant, there is a phenomenon called bowel distention that can make a difference in your appearance very quickly. Within just a couple of weeks, the internal organs start to rearrange themselves to prepare for the baby that will be coming. This can result in the lower part of the stomach being pushed out before the baby has grown very much. This first push outward of the stomach can make a T-shirt that was very tight before the pregnancy into one that is simply too tight to wear any longer.  This early phenomenon is much more noticeable on thin women, and it may make more of an impact on women of that size.

For most women, how long they can wear a T-shirt during their pregnancy depends on two things: how big T-shirt is and how large their baby is. Otherwise, a T-shirt that is slightly roomy or over-sized might be worn for most of the pregnancy if the baby is relatively small. For babies that are particularly large, the T-shirt may not fit past about the seventh month.

A T-shirt that was tight or well fitted before will probably fit up until about the fourth or fifth month in most cases. The fourth month is generally when women began to show their pregnancy. If the T-shirt was large on the woman’s pre-pregnancy figure; however, this time period can be increased by a couple of months in most cases. Many women like to wear large, blowsy T-shirts that are comfortable and can be worn with anything.  A large T-shirt like this will probably accommodate most pregnancies of average size babies. But, there are some exceptions.

Twins and triplets are becoming increasingly common in our society, and these pregnancies understandably produce a much larger pregnant stomach. Anyone pregnant with twins or triplets will likely not be able to wear a pre-pregnancy T-shirt for very long.  For women who are carrying twins, unless a T-shirt is very large to begin with, they will probably not be able to wear it much past the third month. Even a very large T-shirt may not make it through one of these pregnancies.

Because it is impossible early in the pregnancy to know how large the baby will be and how much weight will be gained, it’s often best to simply buy larger T-shirts during pregnancy. This keeps the expectant mother from worrying about outgrowing her clothes and not having a comfortable T-shirt to wear while she is pregnant. Maternity T-shirts may be cut better for many pregnant women, but a T-shirt that is simply a larger size will also work for most women.

Why Does Black Make You Look Skinnier?

All dark colors make objects look smaller. This is true of furniture, fabric on a bed, house paint, and everything else that you can see. The reasons behind this have a lot to do with the way the eye works and how it perceives things that it sees. When you look at something, you tend to see the edges of it and to perceive those edges as the border of the object. This can be blurred when the object is dark because it appears to have fewer borders. A lighter color object will have lines, shapes, and perhaps partitions on it that are very visible to the eye. But when the object is very dark in color, none of those will be very visible at all.

This same principle works with clothing. For instance, if you are wearing a black T-shirt, you will look slimmer on top that if you are wearing a white one. If you have a very light T-shirt on, your shape will be noticeable within the fabric. Any curves, bulges, or flat areas will be noticeable beneath the white fabric.  If the T-shirt is black however, that will not be the case. All that will be easily noticeable is that there is a field of black. This field will not have bulges or areas that look large unless the T-shirt is very tight. That creates a field that is slimmer and smaller looking than it would be otherwise.

Many people wear black often because it has this effect on the eye. If you are feeling self-conscious about having a large chest, having a less than flat stomach or any other figure problems on top, a black T-shirt will work wonders works on that area. The plain black field makes the bulges fade away to the eye and can and instill self-confidence for that reason.

Like a black T-shirt, a pair of black pants can be very slimming to the legs.  If you have a lower stomach that is giving you trouble, or you have saddlebags or thick thighs, wearing a pair of black pants has the same effect that wearing a black T-shirt has on upper figure faults. It creates that same black field of space in which specific areas of the figure are not noticeable.

The way that light plays against dark and light colors is also a factor in the way that different colors make you look. Black does not reflect back the light that shines on it. A light color reflects light away from it. Both of these effects have an impact on how large the color makes an object book. Because black does not reflect the way the light, it is a deeper field color that makes itself look smaller. Because white does reflect light, its light color draws in the eye. If you don’t want the eye brought to your problem areas, make sure that you are wearing black. This will not only make you look leaner, it will give you the self-confidence you need to feel better about your figure.

What Pants Match My Green T-Shirt

If you have a great T-shirt that you love to wear, or you are looking for a green T-shirt, you might wonder what type of pants will go well with that shirt. There are several different answers for this question, but rest assured that you will never be without many options to wear when you have a green T-shirt.

What type of pants you choose to wear with a green T-shirt will probably depend on what shade of green is on the shirt. A dark green shirt might be paired well with a dark pair of pants. Black pants go well with dark green, as do some shades of dark brown. A dark green T-shirt with a pair of brown corduroy pants goes well together. A dark green shirt and would not, however, look as good with a light-colored pair of pants. They should generally not be paired with a pair of tan or white pants.

A mid-range green color has a few more options as far as pants that will go well with it.  A medium green may go well with a pair of dark blue pants, dark brown pants or a pair of black pants. They generally do not go well with red or green pants unless you are going for a Christmas theme with your outfit.

For light green T-shirts, light colored pants will coordinate well. A light green shirt with tan or khaki pants is a nice, casual look for many different occasions. Light green also goes well with white pants or other very light colors. For this shade, white, light yellow or off-white pants go well with a very light pastel green T-shirt.

If you want to be more creative in your pairings, think about what green is made up of.  Like that old commercial said, yellow and blue make green. Depending on the shade of green that you have, you might be to find a yellow or blue pair of pants that go well with the green T-shirt.  This is a very casual look that will get you noticed, and it will coordinate well in most cases. For instance, a light green shirt and a pair of light yellow or light blue pants will work well together for casual springtime occasion. A very dark green shirt will coordinate with a very deep color of yellow.

In just about any case, with any shade of green on a T-shirt, jeans will always work well.  It seems that no matter what the T-shirt looks like, what color it is or how dark it is, jeans will always look great with it. And depending on the shade of the T-shirt, it may be possible to create a slightly dressy look with jeans and a green T-shirt. A dark, forest green shirt with a pair of jeans and pair of dress shoes is a nice outfit that can be worn to just about any occasion. It looks good together and it can be taken from casual business events to night time activities.

How to Choose a T-Shirt if You Have Large Breasts

There are times when you might want a little attention for your figure, but there are likely also times when that kind of attention is simply unwanted. When you want some attention paid to your figure, there are many different T-shirt types to wear than if you don’t want that kind of attention.

A good, attention-getting T-shirt for someone with this type of figure is one that is well fitted. The well-fitted T-shirt will fit the bust like a glove and will not be baggy around the chest. This is a way to enhance the bust line and to make it more noticeable to anyone who sees you in this type of T-shirt. Depending on the type of bra you wear, the T-shirt size that you choose may be different.  A bra that offers a lot of support will probably allow you to wear a smaller sized T-shirt than one that doesn’t. Choosing a good support bra means not only being able to fit into a smaller size, it also means having a silhouette that is made more attractive by the tight-fitting T-shirt.

There may be a lot of times when you don’t want any attention for your figure, however.  During those times, choosing a T-shirt that is looser in the bust line is the best idea. A looser bust line conceals the exact size and shape of the bust and keeps it from getting too much attention. Wearing a T-shirt that is one size larger than one that fits like a glove is a good way to keep the bust line from being too prominently noticeable in the T-shirt while keeping the T-shirt from getting to baggy.

To make the bust line seen smaller than it is, wearing a darker color on top is the best advice.  Many women with large breasts wear black or dark-colored T-shirts to achieve this look. Any dark color will have this effect on your figure. You can choose from dark blue, dark green, dark purple, or even a deep burgundy red and the dark color will make the entire area that covers look smaller to the eye.

On the other hand, if you are seeking to enhance the area, choose a lighter color. A bright yellow, a pink, orange, or even a white T-shirt will make the area seem a little larger. This enhances the figure and calls attention to it.

For women whose breasts are very large and tend to get attention no matter what, wearing two T-shirts may provide a little bit of extra support. One T-shirt with a slightly larger T-shirt worn over it, or even two T-shirts being worn that are the same size, will give a little extra support to the breasts as well as offering more material. This thicker material means that the breasts may not be as easily noticeable then if the material was thinner. And with the extra support, the breasts will move less as the woman is in motion, meaning even less attention being focused on the breasts.

Why Don’t Men Usually Wear Pink T-Shirts?

Why don’t men wear pink T-shirts? To women it is a mystery. What is wrong with pink? After all, it is one of the most frequently worn colors by women. Maybe that’s part of the problem. Women are a lot more likely to name pink as their favorite color. Pink is the color of a beautiful rose. There is pink in a stunning sunset. They even go to great lengths to get a pinkish glow to their skin. Men on the other hand will wear lots of colors but most of they time they won’t wear pink T-shirts. What’s the deal?

It gets even more puzzling when you realize that men do like pink in some things. The key word there is some things. For example, a good steak has a little pink in the middle doesn’t it? In fact, the more pink in a steak the more manly, so they say. Pigs are pink and guys like pigs. Men eat bacon and ham even though it all came from a pink pig. Sometimes guys even act like pink pigs. Yet this acceptance of pink does not translate to wearing pink T-shirts. Why?

Well, unseen to the average woman, there is a great stigma over the color pink when it comes to clothes like T-shirts. Wearing it is regarded as slightly less than manly. Not the kind of message most guys want to send out to the world as they walk around in their T-shirts. No, they will not wear pink when black, gray, or blue are available to wear instead. These are much more manly shades. Ever notice that there are no male sports teams with the color pink on them? Some have boldly ventured out into purple. But, is there any pink anywhere? No.

Now, understand that some guys do venture out into wearing pink T-shirts. How bold they are! What non-conformists! Yes, perhaps they are to be admired above all. Maybe they are the most manly, not being dictated to by anyone on what to wear. Maybe they just do not know of the stigma and in their ignorance love their pink T-shirt and wear it proudly. We just can’t tell by looking. For some they may not venture into the T-shirt realm with pink but wear a pink tie or something like that. This is much more acceptable as far as the stigma goes.

Now, you can try to sell guys on pink but, for most, it won’t work. You could say, “Hey, isn’t pink just a light shade of red?” You could bring up that pink steak they ate or the very manly bacon and ham breakfast they downed earlier, but it still won’t work. This stigma has been a part of our culture for years and years. It will probably still be for a long time to come too. Maybe some day lots of men will start wearing pink T-shirts. But, for now, if they have one, it will lie buried deep in their drawer just like the quiche they were given lays deep in the back of their refrigerator never to come out.

Ways to Hide Gynecomastia When Wearing a T-Shirt

7 Replies

When you have gynecomastia, it can seem like everyone is staring at your chest.  Many men who suffer from the condition feel that whatever they wear is calling attention to the issue. In reality, a person with the condition often feels like it is much more noticeable than it is. That feeling of embarrassment is often the real problem. To lose the embarrassment and gain some of your self-confidence back, there are several ways to downplay the chest area and to hide the condition of gynecomastia.

One of the first things to remember is that dark colors will make the area look smaller. This is true of just about everything in the visual world. If you want something to look smaller, make it look darker. Wearing a dark color also makes it more difficult to determine exactly where some shapes end another begins. If the entire T-shirt is a very dark color such as a dark blue or black, the shapes that make up the silhouette may not be noticeable.

For many people with gynecomastia, there is one best method of wearing a T-shirt in order to hide the condition. Wearing a T-shirt that is at least one size larger than the one that would otherwise be worn is a good way of hiding the condition. Some men prefer wearing T-shirts that are two sizes larger in order to have the entire T-shirt fit very loosely. This leaves the figure to the imagination as it will not fit tightly against the chest.

Another way to mask the size of the chest is to wear two T-shirts. Wearing a tight T-shirt with a looser one over it may keep people from being able to see exactly how the person’s figure looks. Wearing a t-shirt that is tight may also help to keep the enlarged areas flatter than they would otherwise be. When this is worn with a looser T-shirt on top of it, it can have a profound effect on how the persons figure looks. Even without a loose T-shirt under it, two lose T-shirts being worn together may create enough ripples in the fabric that it is difficult to figure out exactly what is a fabric ripple and what is not. Two T-shirts also provide more material to cover the chest, which makes the entire area far less prominent.

If you want to make sure that your chest is not noticeable, avoid wearing white T-shirts.  Choose darker colors when possible, but always avoid wearing a white T-shirt. If the T-shirt is very see-through, as white T-shirts sometimes are, this can make the gynecomastia far more noticeable. If you need a very light-colored T-shirt such as when going to the beach, choose something in a pastel rather than choosing a plain white one. This will give you the benefit of reflecting the sun away from yourself while still giving you a little bit of protection against the effects that a white T-shirt can sometimes have. This keeps you adequately covered while still providing you with the comfort you seek.

Which Pants Match with a Blue T-Shirt?

Leave a reply

Blue is the classic color. To find pants to match a blue T-shirt is not at all a difficult task. It may only depend on your mood and the type of look you are trying to convey. Through a variety of pants you can express that exact mood you desire. By simply changing your pants, you can create a variety of different looks. The best thing to do is try them all and see what works for you but here are a few suggestions and the most popular choices.

First, you could try your blue T-shirt with beige pants. This will create a nice classic look that is sharp and easy. But just as easy and classic is to go with a gray colored pant. This look is easy too and it is hard to go wrong. Making this even simpler, almost any shade of beige or any shade of gray is going to work as well. The lighter shades will be a more casual and perhaps friendlier look. The darker shades will make you out to look a bit more formal and perhaps professional.

Secondly, however you could go with some more daring and expressive combination. For example, a pair of white pants with your blue T-shirt is and fresh and exciting look. Think of all those boaters who go with this combination and look great. You can go in the exact opposite direction and try a black pair of pants. With this you create a sharp and professional look. You can see how versatile blue is.

So if you branch out in almost every direction your will be alright. In fact, even blue would work. Just imagine a dark pair of blue pants with a light blue T-shirt. This is a winning and elegant combination. So, as long as you have any of these types of pants you’re going to look sharp in a blue T-shirt.

Now, there a few colors of pants that would be more difficult with your blue T-shirt. For example, green pants are tough and would be a near fashion disaster. If there really were fashion police, you would be pulled over for wearing green pants and a blue T-shirt. You would be heavily fined by these police as well, most likely. But, this is all not a reflection on the blue T-shirt or how versatile it is in the wardrobe. Indeed very little goes with the green pants. In fact, if you own such a pair, odds are they don’t make their way out of the closet very often. If they do, hopefully for the rest of us, it is on those days that you have decided to stay in.

As a general rule you probably want to stay away from very bright colored pants when you wear a blue T-shirt. It’s a look that works for kindergartners, but it can start to look a little funky for adults. Red, orange, yellow, purple, and pink are all colors you’re going to want to stay away from with a blue T-shirt. To be honest though, neutral colors like blue, gray, khaki, black, and white seem to work a lot better for pants anyway. Save the brighter colors for your T-shirts, and everybody will be okay.

How to Remove Red Wine Stains From my T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Red wine is deeply-pigmented liquid that can easily ruin any type of clothing if the stain is not taken care of the right way. Most methods for removing red wine only work if the stain is treated soon after the spill. Once the wine sets into the fabric, or has been dried into it, it can be very difficult to get it out of a t-shirt.

Putting a t-shirt with a red wine stain on it into the washing machine without some type of pre-treatment will generally not be successful. If the spill just happened, blot the stain with anything you have available. A paper napkin, a cotton towel or even an older t-shirt that you never wear anymore will be absorbent enough to get much of the red wine out of a fresh spill. The more you can blot out of the spill, the better the outcome will be for your t-shirt.

Once you can’t blot anymore of the wine, start a pre-treatment. There are a number of commercial pretreatments on the market that can be used to soak the t-shirt in, or a pre-treatment stick or spray can put the treatment right onto the stain. To make a difference against red wine stains, the stained area will have to soak for at least several minutes to lift some of the wine out of the fabric.

If this treatment isn’t successful at lifting some of the stain out of the t-shirt, there are a few alternative treatments. The pre-treatment solution can be mixed with about a teaspoon of liquid laundry detergent and a cup of hydrogen peroxide. If you don’t have any liquid detergent on hand, liquid dish soap will work just as well. Mix these items together and soak the affected area of the t-shirt in it for at least 10 minutes. If the t-shirt is a bright color, you might try a color test with the hydrogen peroxide before soaking the shirt. This can be done my applying a small dot of the peroxide to a small portion of the t-shirt to make sure that the chemical will not strip the intended color out of the t-shirt.

Once the treatment has soaked into the fabric for the required amount of time, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water. If the stain doesn’t seem to be lifting, let the t-shirt soak in very cold water for about 10 minutes. This will likely remove some of the wine if the stain isn’t too old.

For an older stain on a light-colored t-shirt, using regular laundry bleach should get the wine stain out of the t-shirt. This works well on a white t-shirt, but a light colored shirt that isn’t white may still have a noticeable mark, though it will be less noticeable than the wine stain would have been. To apply the bleach, use a laundry bleach pen or use a cotton swab to dab a little bleach onto the wine-stained area. After a few minutes, rinse it away with cold water and wash the t-shirt in the washing machine.

How to Fix a Hole in Your T-Shirt

1 Reply

A hole can be a serious problem with a t-shirt, or it might be nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The extent of the problem is usually related to how large the hole in the t-shirt is and where exactly on the shirt it is located.

If the hole is located on a seam, it is the easiest type of hole to fix. To fix it, simply turn the garment inside out and sew a line across the seam to close up the hole. To do this, match up the thread color to the thread that was originally used to sew up the seams on the t-shirt. This is usually the same color as the t-shirt, but that isn’t always true. Take a look at the thread first to make sure.

If the hole is small, thread the matching thread through a small needle and knot the end of the thread. Then, pinch the seam together so that it looks the way it should look after the repair is done. Then, sew through both parts of the shirt that go together to make the seam. Continue doing this until the hole in the seam is closed up. Knot the thread at the end of the stitches and cut off the thread. The t-shirt should look just like it did before the hole formed.

If the hole is not located at the seam it can be a little more complicated. The thread must exactly match the color of the t-shirt in order to allow the stitches to blend into the shirt as well as possible. Even if the t-shirt is white, this may mean matching the t-thread to the exact shade of white that is used in the t-shirt. If the hole is very small, turn the t-shirt inside out and make a few very small stitches in order to close up the hole.

If the hole is larger and is not on a seam, use a sewing machine for a better effect on the t-shirt. The t-shirt should be turned inside out before you begin. Then, load the matching thread into the sewing machine. Use the zigzag stitch to close up the hole. Place the sewing machine needle into the fabric located at the top part of the hole. Then, use the zigzag stitch to close up the hole until you get to the other side of it. Once you reach the other side, reverse directions and use the zigzag stitch all the way back to the other end of the hole. This will create tight stitching that will barely be noticeable in most cases.

If you aren’t as concerned about the hole or the stitching being visible, consider fixing the hole with a patch. There are a number of different kinds of patches available, and they can be ironed on in just a few minutes. A large hole that could take a long time to mend with stitches will take considerably less time to fix with a patch. And, the t-shirt will be one that is different and unique.

Designing a t-shirt can be a great way to start the New Year off right—with creativity and thoughtfulness.

How to Soften and Whiten Laundry by Using Baking Soda

Baking sodaBaking soda is an inexpensive substance that is easy to find in any grocery store and general merchandise store. It has a million uses in the home, but one of the most useful of these is likely its power to soften clothing and make white clothes whiter. If a home has hard water, baking soda is especially helpful in keeping clothing from becoming stiff from the hard water residue.

Baking soda is a mildly alkali substance, making it a perfect natural detergent. It doesn’t come with any harsh chemicals like artificial fragrances and it is generally safe to be used by people with sensitive skin. There are several ways that baking soda can be used in the washing machine to make clothing softer and to whiten whites.

One of the easiest methods of using baking soda to keep clothing softer and brighter is to add about half a cup of baking soda during the rinse cycle. This works in much the same way that a liquid fabric softener would work in the wash.

Another way to use baking soda is to use it as a part of the detergent. This is done in order to brighten clothes and keep the whites looking whiter. This can be done by simply substituting a cup of baking soda for the detergent you would usually use. This can also be done by using baking soda as a part of a homemade detergent. By mixing a ¼ cup of baking soda with ½ cup of white vinegar, you can make an effective washing liquid that will treat most stains but will leave clothes softer than if a regular detergent is used.

A pre-treat solution can also be used for whites that will keep them brighter. Mix ½ cup of white vinegar with ½ cup of ammonia and ¼ cup of baking soda. Mix in about two quarts of water and two spoonfuls of regular liquid hand soap and you will have an extremely effective pre-treat solution that can be used for treating whites before they are washed. To use this, the solution can be sprayed onto the clothing stains and left to soak for about 10 minutes before washing. Or, the clothing can be rinsed in the solution before being rinsed with water and placed into the wash. This will work to keep white clothes brighter than if they

If you are using bleach to whiten whites, it can make clothing somewhat stiffer than regular detergent. To counteract this effect, add a little baking soda into the bleach to keep the clothing softer. This will also give the bleach a little boost and will result in even whiter whites.

To work on tough stains on whites, scrub the area with baking soda. To do this, make a paste from the baking soda a little bit of water. Take the paste and scrub it into the stain with a small scrub brush or an old toothbrush. Avoid scrubbing too hard, however, or you may scrub a hole into the fabric. Once this is completed, wash the clothing as usual.

Absorbent fabric

What is the Most Absorbent Type of Fabric for a T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Absorbent fabric

People love to wear their t-shirts because they are so comfortable in many different types of weather. The fabric that is used for most t-shirts is chosen because of many factors- its breathability, its shape, its ease of washing, and also for its high level of absorbency. Cotton and wool are generally seen as the two most absorbent fabrics available for clothing. Both are natural and both are extremely absorbent types of fabrics.

Cotton and wool are both absorbent enough to take dyes and colors very well. This is what gives them their extremely broad range of colors and designs available. However, wool is generally not used for t-shirts because it has other properties as well. Wool is a very warm fabric, and that’s something that most t-shirt owners aren’t looking for. When they put on a t-shirt, they expect to stay cool and comfortable. This is best done with cotton instead of wool. Wool can also cause reactions in some people and it’s known to be an itchy fabric. This has made cotton the all-around favorite for t-shirt wearers.

Synthetic fabrics are sometimes substituted for cotton in t-shirts, but they are not as absorbent as cotton. So far, there has not been a synthetic t-shirt fabric that is as absorbent as the natural fibers of cotton. And for holding a variety of dye colors, that’s extremely important. Because cotton is so absorbent, it will hold not only synthetic dyes, but a wide range of natural dyes. Plant-based dyes, vegetable dyes and others are often used with cotton because they will be readily absorbed and will stay looking great for a long period of time and over many washes.

Another way that the absorbency of cotton helps with comfort is with keeping the t-shirt wearer cool. This is because of cotton’s ability to absorb liquids quickly and easily. When a t-shirt wearer sweats, a synthetic fabric may repel that sweat, keeping the wearer wet and uncomfortable. But, cotton t-shirts will absorb that sweat and keep it from soaking the wearer’s skin. This allows the sweat to evaporate better than if a synthetic fabric was holding it in. It allows the wearer to cool off but to be kept cool and drier than if the t-shirt was made out of another fabric.

Cotton’s absorbency may not be something that most people think about when they are putting on their t-shirt, but it’s one of the factors that makes a cotton t-shirt more comfortable than many other garments. Its softness and its absorbency go together to make a breathable t-shirt that takes on the sweat and oil that can make a person feel uncomfortable if they are left on the skin for long periods of time. No synthetic material will do this. For all of these reasons, cotton is by far the most common type of fabric that is used in t-shirts. People all over the world use it in their t-shirts as well as many of their other items of clothing.

Scarf

Can I Wear a Scarf With a T-Shirt?

Scarf

Scarves go in and out of style, but for some, they remain a personal expression of the wearer’s own taste in clothing. While it may seem that a scarf is best paired with a turtleneck or some type of formal outfit, it can certainly be paired with a t-shirt. And, there are so many ways to wear a scarf with a t-shirt that anyone with any type of style can find a way that appeals to them. The color and pattern on a scarf can drastically change the look of an outfit and can make a t-shirt look spectacular.

One of the easiest ways to wear a scarf is to simply wrap it around the neck once and to let the ends flow naturally at the sides. Many people do this to dress up a t-shirt or to add some color to the outfit as a whole. Another variation on this theme is to wrap the ends up into the folds and to keep them from flowing at the sides. This can also be done by creating a larger knot in the scarf at either the front of the neck or to one side.

If you want a larger splash of color, try draping the scarf over your shoulders. The scarf can be kept in place with a loose knot in the center, or it might be kept in place simply with its weight. For a lightweight scarf, this might not be possible. These types of scarves can be kept in place with a scarf pin. A pin or broach is often used to hold a light scarf in place by pinning the t-shirt and the scarf together to keep the scarf situated the way you choose.

If you want to wear the scarf and the t-shirt but you don’t want to put the scarf over your shoulders or neck, you can always wear the scarf in your hair. The scarf can be used like a headband by tying it over your hair and fastening a knot under your hair where the ends of the scarf will be hidden. The knot can also be tied at the top of the head and the ends tucked under or left free. You might also choose to wrap the scarf around you hair and to tie a bow at the top of your head.

For another variation, try using the scarf as a 50’s-style ponytail holder. To do this, either use the scarf to hold you hair back, or use it to cover your ponytail holder, Then, tie the scarf in a knot at the top of your ponytail and let the ends hang down on each side. This is a vintage look that goes great with vintage or vintage-style t-shirts.

If you have a very long scarf, you can wear it like a winter scarf and drape it around you neck. This can be done with one loop around your neck, or it can be draped around the back of your neck without looping it around at all.

Wash cycle

How to Choose the Right Wash Cycle When Washing Your T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Wash cycle

Washing a t-shirt sounds like something that should be simple, but choosing the right wash cycle is important for keeping the t-shirt both clean and looking like new for as long as possible. The proper washing cycle will depend a lot on how dirty the t-shirt is, what type of stains it has on it and how old the t-shirt is. It also depends on what the color of the t-shirt is.

A brightly-colored t-shirt might benefit from a slower washing cycle than a white t-shirt or one with a pastel color. Vigorous washing can fade a t-shirt color faster than if the washing cycle is slower. Cotton t-shirts don’t generally require a delicate cycle, but a bright t-shirt might benefit from a slow cycle to keep the color bright.

If a t-shirt is a white one or one with a lighter color, the wash cycle will not be as important for keeping the t-shirt’s color. The color still may fade, however, if it is washed in the fastest washing speed many times. To help extend the color and the life of the t-shirt, try to change the washing speed between gentle cycles and faster washing cycles. This will keep the t-shirt looking newer longer while still giving it the occasional vigorous cleaning.

The color of a white t-shirt generally will not be affected much by a fast washing cycle. It may fade the white slightly, but as long as the t-shirt is being washing with other white clothing items, the color should remain white for as long as you have the t-shirt. The fast cycle won’t have much affect on the color of a white shirt, but it may have an effect on how long the t-shirt lasts. The shirt may become covered with pills, tiny balls, if it is washed too many times on the fastest washing cycle. The cotton may also become thinner if it is always washed this way.

Unless a white t-shirt is extremely dirty or smells badly, using the same technique of switching the washing cycle between the fastest cycle and a slow washing cycle will extend the life of the t-shirt. It will keep the material from thinning as much and allow the t-shirt more life than if it is always washed on the fastest cycle.

If a t-shirt is extremely dirty, the fast cycle may be the only one that works well to remove the dirt and grime. This is often true if the stains are hard to get out. Grass stains and blood stains may require the use of the fastest cycle in order to loosen these stains. If the t-shirt is only slightly dirty, a slow cycle will work fine to loosen the dirt. It might even be cleaned just as well as if the t-shirt is rinsed out in the sink with some gentle soap. A quick hand wash in the sink will give the t-shirt a longer life and keep the t-shirt from developing pills or faded colors.

How to Remove Ballpoint Pen Ink From Your T-Shirt

Ballpoint pen

Using a ballpoint pen is an integrated part of everyone’s daily life. However, using a ballpoint regularly means that eventually some of the ink from that pen will make it onto the clothing that you wear. When this occurs, there are several way that the ink can be taken out of the fabric in order for a cleaner, more attractive article of clothing.

Because t-shirts are made from cotton, the ink is easily absorbed into the t-shirt. But, cotton is also easy to wash and it’s possible to get just about any stain out of it. Ballpoint pen ink is generally fairly easy to wash out of a garment. If you want to get the ink out quickly and easily, try washing it along with the other laundry as usual. Use a fast washing speed to make sure to get out as much ink as possible.

After the washing machine cycle is over, take out the t-shirt and check it thoroughly. If there are still any signs of the ink on the t-shirt, either wash it again or find another method to get rid of the ballpoint ink. Don’t put it into a dryer yet, as this will set the remaining ink into the fabric and make it much more difficult to wash the ink out.

Try to remove the ink by hand if the washing machine isn’t effective. This can by done by putting the ink-stained portion of the t-shirt under hot water and letting the water run through the stain for a few minutes. This should loosen up the remaining ink from the fabric. If it doesn’t, try rubbing the ink-stained area back and forth against itself while holding it under the running hot water. After a minute or two, the ink should have disappeared.

Sometimes using some type of soap can help the stain to come out of the fabric faster. You might try a little bit of liquid laundry detergent while using this rubbing method. Liquid hand soap or liquid dishwashing detergent has also been known to help with this type of ink stain.

If the ink stain is older and you’re still having trouble getting it out, try spraying a little hairspray on the stain. Let het hairspray sit on the stain for a few minutes and then try the rubbing method to get it out of the t-shirt. Then, just wash the t-shirt as you normally would in order to get the hairspray out of the fabric.

With a white t-shirt, using a little bit of nail polish remover can also be effective. It is a strong substance, however, and it can stain even a white t-shirt if too much is used. If the ink stain is on a white shirt, using a small amount of bleach from a bleach pen should take out any ink that has remained from the other methods. A bleach pen lets you to apply bleach with precision and to avoid having to wash the entire garment with it.

How to Keep T-Shirts and Clothes Looking New

Leave a reply

New clothes

Most articles of clothing including t-shirts look their best when they are brand new. Keeping the look of new clothing is one of the biggest struggles of clothing care. There are some washing and drying techniques that make clothing wear out far quicker than if the clothing is treated with other washing and drying techniques.

One of the harshest things that can be done to laundry is to use an electric drier. These age clothing faster than just about anything else that can be done to it. To keep clothing looking newer for far longer, use other drying techniques if possible. Using a dryer does make clothing feel softer but it strips it of many of the fibers of the clothing. If you’ve ever noticed the lint that comes out of a dryer lint trap, you’ve seen where those fibers end up. That lint is largely small particles of the clothing that was dried in the machine.

If you want to bypass the dryer, using an old-fashioned drying line can dry clothing quickly and without wearing out the fabric. If you have bright colors drying, be sure to put the line in the shade. Bright sunlight can cause colors to fade more quickly. This will make the drying process take longer, but the clothing will eventually dry in the fresh air.

Another way to keep t-shirts and clothing looking newer longer is to use cold water to wash the clothes. Hot water is a harsh way to wash clothes and can lead to fading of the colors and for the fabric to ball up into the pills that can form on cotton. Use cold water whenever possible to wash your clothing. There are times when clothing is so dirty or has so many odors that washing it in cold water won’t solve the problems. In those cases, try warm water instead of hot. You might also try alternating between using cold water and hot water on each load of laundry. This cuts in half the number of times that the clothing is washed in hot water while still giving it a deep cleaning every other time.

Harsh detergents are another problem with keeping clothing looking new. The detergents that we use may be effective, but they can also cause some damage to clothing and fade the colors. Using the gentlest detergents possible, that still get out the dirt and odor, will keep the clothing looking better. If the clothing is not getting clean by using a gentler detergent, try a pre-treatment regimen first before using the gentler detergent.

If possible, don’t use bleach to clean the clothes. There are of course times when only bleach will remove a stain. But, on everyday loads, don’t include bleach in the wash. It causes fabric to wear thin far more quickly than a regular detergent. After just a few washes in bleach, a thin fabric may develop holes. If you do use bleach, use it as a spot-treatment if possible instead of adding it to the wash.

Coffee stains

How to Remove Coffee Stains on Your T-Shirt

Coffee stains

Coffee stains are one of the most dreaded of all laundry stains. The dark color of coffee and the deep pigments in the liquid can make it tough to get coffee stains out of a t-shirt, particularly when the t-shirt is colored.

To have the best chance of getting the coffee out of the fabric, treat the stain right away. Don’t hesitate to start getting the coffee out of the t-shirt as soon as the spill happens. Take the t-shirt off as quickly as possible in order to be able to treat the stain quickly. The stain will be a lot easier to treat if it is treated quickly. If too much time has passed, it may not be possible to remove much of the coffee stain without using bleach on the t-shirt.

To start treating the t-shirt, get as much of the liquid out of the fabric as possible. If the spill was large, wring the t-shirt out several times to get the coffee out of it. If the spill was smaller, press a towel, or napkins or whatever you may have into the stained area. Keep doing this until you aren’t able to remove any more of the liquid.

Once you’ve done this, turn the t-shirt inside out and run cold water through the stained part of the t-shirt. If the entire t-shirt has been stained, squeeze and wring the t-shirt repeatedly under cold running water. However large the stain is, rub the fabric together under the water to get the stain out more quickly. Continue doing this until no more of the coffee is running out of the fabric with the water.

Use a pre-treating spray or rub on the stained area of the t-shirt. This pre-treating solution should be used on the entire stained area. Pay particular attention to the edges of the stain. These edges may be darker than the rest of the stain because of the way the coffee was moving along the fabric. Let the stained area soak in the pre-treatment solution for as long as the directions indicate. Once the soaking time is completed, wash the t-shirt in hot water. If the coffee stain was treated quickly, this should lift the remaining coffee out of the fabric. This process will give a colored t-shirt its best chance of beating the stain.

If the t-shirt is white, there are a few additional options that can be used that would alter the color of a colored t-shirt. The main principle of treating this type of dark stain on a white t-shirt is to simply strip all of the color out of the t-shirt. This can be done easily by washing the t-shirt with chlorine bleach, but it may weaken the fabric to do so. The best approach is to blot away the liquid and then rinse the t-shirt as you would with a colored t-shirt. Then, allow the stained area to soak in bleach for a few minutes. After that, rinse away the bleach and launder the t-shirt in hot water. If the bleach soak doesn’t remove the stain, try a bleach pen or soak the t-shirt for a longer period of time before washing it.
