How to Avoid That Annoying Ring Around the Collar

Are you tired of seeing that annoying ring around the collar on all your favorite shirts? If so, then take a bit of time to browse through this blog for some helpful insight and tips from the team here at Jimmy’s Cleaners and Alterations. Our team of highly skilled and experienced specialists understands your frustration. Those very common stains that are familiar to so many of us are caused by a number of components. From body oils, colognes, and hair tonics to perspiration, sunblock and even medications the causes are many.

How to Avoid the Infamous Ring Around the Collar (and Cuffs)

Our team of dedicated fabric and garment specialists wants to share some helpful tips on how you can avoid dealing with these annoying stains. To prevent them from occurring, try out these helpful tips:

• · Start by minimizing the amount of cosmetics and even various fragrances that you apply in your neck area.
• · You may want to wear some type of a mock neck shirt underneath your dress shirt in order to prevent contact between your shirt collar and your neck thereby avoiding any staining.
• · Consider using collar guards or even some of the effective adhesive tapes that are absorbent and provide a layer of protection between the collar of your favorite shirt and your neck area.
• · Wearing a scarf can help to minimize the staining that can occur to your stylish blazers, jackets, windbreakers or coats including suede and leather items. You certainly don’t want to spoil your classy outerwear.
• · Be sure to wash your shirts, especially white and light-colored shirts, after each and every wear. As we all know, wearing the same shirt multiple times allows your body heat to typically set in any stains that may have been present from a previous wear. So be sure to have your shirts dry-cleaned after every wear to ensure the overall integrity and health of the fabric and color.

How to Treat Stains That Appear on Your Collars or Cuffs

Though there are a variety of laundry products such as pre-treatment, stain sticks and various sprays on the market today that profess to remove any ring around the collar and cuff stains, they are definitely not the best option for you. Most of these products claim to resolve stains resulting from sweat, body oils, cosmetics, fragrances and other elements. However, often times they actually set the stain in even more. These pre-treaters can ultimately do more harm than good. With that said, we want to encourage you to bring your shirts and other garments to our trusted facility here at Jimmy’s Cleaners and Alterations. Our team will use a specialized pretreatment process on the existing ring or stain that will not cause the stain to set in further but rather lighten it or remove it altogether.
