Do you love your Du Bon Côté shirts and want to keep them impeccable? Discover our foolproof tips for perfect washing and ironing. With our practical guide, you'll learn the secrets to keeping your favourite shirts fresh and looking their best.

Perfect washing and ironing for your DBC shirts

Take good care of your DBC shirt to keep it looking impeccable and stylish, by following all our recommendations for washing, spin-drying, drying and ironing.

Optimal washing for a shiny shirt

To preserve the quality of your DBC shirt, start by selecting a suitable detergent and washing the shirt in similar colours and materials. We recommend that you wash your shirt with the buttons closed to avoid any distortion of the fabric. For cotton shirts, opt for a maximum wash temperature of 30 degrees.

The shirt Prestige, can withstand temperatures of up to 40 degrees for optimum cleaning. What's more, be sure to respect the individual washing specifications: the shirt La Fouesnantaise in organic cotton should be machine-washed at 30 degrees, just like the shirt La Belliloise which is made of linen.

Controlled spinning to prevent creases

When you run your washing machine, make sure you set the spin speed to a gentler option, especially if your shirt is made from linen (as is the case with La Belliloise). This delicate fabric is particularly prone to creasing, and spinning too hard could exacerbate this problem. By choosing a lower spin speed, you preserve the natural texture and elegance of your shirt, ensuring it looks impeccable.

Air dry for a like-new shirt

Opt to air dry on a hanger by buttoning the collar and bottom button. This method preserves the shape and quality of the fabric of your DBC shirt. All our shirts are designed to be air-dried in this way, whether it's the Prestige cotton shirt or the La Bigoudène made from a blend of Tencel and hypoallergenic polyester.

Expert ironing for a perfect look

Use a clean, lime-free iron. To remove wrinkles, dampen the garment slightly and leave to dry before ironing on the reverse side of the fabric.

Avoid stains and creases: simple tips to keep your shirt looking its best

Treat stains and dirt quickly before putting the shirt in the washing machine. To minimise creases, air out your shirt on a hanger between uses rather than washing it too often. Make sure you undo all the buttons before putting on or taking off your shirt to avoid unnecessary creases.

Maintain the shape of your shirt without unwanted creases

Choose wooden or plastic hangers with wide, rounded edges to preserve the shape of the garment. If you store your shirt on a shelf, fold it carefully to avoid excessive creasing.

Organise your storage space

Make sure you have a well-sealed storage space to prevent discolouration. Remember not to leave your shirts lying around and to put them away properly after use.

Alternate shirts: an effective strategy for preserving shirt quality

Avoid wearing the same shirt every day to allow each shirt to rest and regain its original shape.
