    Bog standard supermarket tablets. Bog standard 40 degree cotton wash. Bog standard whichever-conditioner-is-reduced-to-99p-when-you're-in-the-supermarket.

    Protect the underarms by wearing an undergarment - cheaper replacing a £3 or £10 vest than a £75 shirt. Protect the collar by getting the clatty mank to wash their neck properly.

    And, of course, iron when damp (then put back up to finish drying.)

    I'll move your thread to the 'Old Style' board, where the board guides may want to merge it with the existing washing threads.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Regards
