Have you guys wash your expensive dress shirt with wool lite liquid detergent? Does wool lite preserve the color of fabric and remove dirt ?
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Woolite is pretty good stuff.
I hand wash TONS of stuff in woolite and hang it on the line to dry or lay it flat on a towel and "shape" it so it will dry nicely.
I have found some fabrics hold on to the smell of the chemicals that dry cleaners use. Clothing that has elastic, foams, heavy pleats, multi layers, etc.. tend to trap that odor and I think it stinks.
Test it out. Woolite makes a special wash for dark clothes and I have found it makes black not fade as fast.
It is a little extra work, but the pampering pays off in the long run.

my shirts can be wash in washing machine in delicate cycle. I want to save money by trying wool lite detergent. I haven't used this product hence I want your opinions on its effectiveness.

This is THE most important part. NEVER use a dryer for anything besides towels or underwear. Why? The combination of heat and the motion not only fades the clothes, but wears them out something to the tune of 85% faster than hanging things to dry. The washing machine accounts for about 10% of the wear. Know this: wearing clothes doesn't wear them out, the dryer does. Sure, you'll cry about not having fabric softener and fluffy soft clothes, but when the electric/gas bill comes they'll be tears of joy.Bad_Lil'Pixie said:
In my experience, detergent doesn't matter much, but if you want to be extra-safe I say go for it.
But drycleaning is the way to go if the material is delicate or subject to shrinkage. Plus, I have anything that has screenprinting on it drycleaned. That way, the screenprinting doesn't crack. I've had a couple screenprinted shirts for better than 5 years now.
Lastly, if you want to be kind to you new shirt, don't wash it unless it's dirty. Some people are crazy about wearing things once and washing them. It's silly, and a waste of water.

Almost forgot to mention, a little woollite goes a VERY LONG WAY. If you use too much you will have to rinse it twice.
After you wash them, shake them really hard, straighten the collar, cuffs, button area, etc...and hang to dry.
If you have a chance to iron it when it is still slightly damp, using a bit of Magic Sizing, it makes it very simple.
You really will enjoy the savings, plus a cleaner, nicer, longer lasting shirt.

Zippers are also hard on other clothes in the washing machine or dryer. I make a separate load out of jeans and anything with zippers.
And I wash clothes every time I wear them, even if only for a couple of hours. Some people have a more sensitive sense of smell. A worn shirt that does not yet look dirty still has a very specific bad smell. People stink this way a lot in Florida.
