How To Properly Use Collar Stays

All of our 25 Pilgrim Cleaners locations have FREE collar stays on the counters for our customers! Many people have seen these plastic cards and may have wondered what they were for and how to properly use them. The purpose of collar stays is to insert them in the collar of your shirt to help hold the shape and keep your collar propped up and looking great all day. No more frumpy collar blues once your starch wears out! It is also a great alternative for those of you who prefer to go starch-free because of the itchy feeling it may give you around your neckline. Please watch our video to learn how to properly insert collar stays into the pockets of your shirt collar. Keep in mind that not all shirt collars come with pockets underneath the collar for collar stays! Please leave any questions for us to answer in the comments below.
