Do you take care of a man's dress shirts?

1 Answer

Answer :

For years my husband ironed his own shirts, no starch. For a couple years his mom did it for him, even while we were married. Once in a very great while I would iron one or two, but too few to count. In the last 8 years we have had them laundered (we have been married 20 years). There have been a few years here and there where my husband could go to work in casual clothes, and so he wore dress shirts only about half the time while employed at those companies.
