Why do my white shirts come back from the cleaners with yellow rings around the collar? Why do my dark colored shirts come back with oil slicks around the collar?
Simply, because ordinary cleaners merely toss your shirts into a shirt washer. And hope that a combination of hot water and harsh, caustic, industrial grade detergents will dissolve the body oils in the collar. Sometimes this works. Mostly it doesn’t. At RAVE FabriCARE, the first stage of our shirt laundry process is to clean your shirts in our odorless, dermatologically friendly, fabric gentle drycleaning fluid. This is the only way to safely and gently dissolve oil-based stains such as body oil, creams and lotions, and other grease deposits — without scrubbing your collars and cuffs with nylon brushes. This is also the only way to ensure that, when your shirt is finally hand-ironed, those body oils and grease deposits don’t transform or oxidize through heat into difficult-to-remove yellow stains.
