So. I had a load of my very expensive shirts in. SOmeone (my step mother) took them out of the washing machine last tues and left them. So they have been sitting for a week, wet. They all smell horrible now, and have red spots on them. I assume its some kind of mildew. WTF am I supposed to do now?
These are all dress shirts. All tolled, probably $2k worth of shirts with little red spots…
$2k worth of shirts in one load, Take that ish to the dry cleaner next time
seriously, if you have expensive shirts take them to a dry cleaners…they will last longer and look better anyway.
PS - you can take them to a dry cleaners, they should be able to salvage a good portion of them
eh. They usually go to the dry cleaner. Once in a great while ill toss them in a super light load.
Am I really fucked?
^^^^^
awesome. I counted 4 Canali shirts, and 5 Zegnas in this load. 
What were they sitting on?
The red spots might be rust. Either way they are probably fucked.
w/e. Sucks royally, but in reality this is like 4% of my wardrobe, so I cant be to pissed…
bring them to the dry cleaner anyways and see what they can do.
they might be able to clean them up.
and it’s a professional opinion.
Put abercrombie on the shirts and sell them on ebay :lol:
You might have lost those clothes but have gained a valuable lesson. I take basically all of my dress shirts to a dry cleaner. It usually costs less than $2 a shirt and you don’t have to worry about ironing, shrinking, coloring, etc.
word nothing worse than ironing a dress shirt and fucking it up…
dry cleaners > *
take them to a dry cleaner and see what they say? this thread is pretty worthless 
Why would you ever be washing nice shirts in the first place? Anyway, stupidity aside, don’t try and do anything yourself. Take them to the cleaners… a good one, not Johnny Q Shady DimSum. If anyone can get it out, they can. You aren’t going to get an answer off this website for some do it at home fix that I would even recomend on your 10/$10 undershirts.
jeez man, take your good stuff to the drycleaners.
meh
went to dry cleaner. Like 3/12 are salvagable. Im not too heartbroken.
but lesson learned. dry cleaner from now on…
I mean in terms of # of shirts I have, not price…
Price wise, its more like 30%
