I bought a new shirt. I've worn in only 2 or 3 times and it already has little holes in the front of it. The holes are always in the front down by the bottom of the shirt. What's going on??? Please help me. My washer and dryer are eating my clothes!!!

Is it a fine-cotton (tissue type) shirt? These are quite delicate despite being cotton. Wash it in cool water, do not dry (or use the lowest setting), and do not use bleach. Bleach and high heat especially will eat right through thin t-shirts.

What is happening is that the material that they are making the clothes from now days is thinner than it used to be. This is starting to be very irritating now that 2 of my favorite shirts have developed holes. I have sewed them up but I'm very unhappy with this quality of cotton. It's one thing to have cute little light shirts but entirely unacceptable when you pay 50.00 for a shirt and it starts falling apart!!!! That is what is happening. That's why all your experiments have the same outcome. Not because it's your belly button, jean button, seat belt or counter top. This is why it doesn't happen as often to your husband or son's clothes, they do not wear the thinner shirts. This is why it happens to the front of your shirts. NO MATTER what you are doing the front of your shirt is more susceptible to being touched. And just as an added note. Some people have stated it’s because they don’t wash their clothes after every wear and the moths are eating holes in them. I ALWAYS wash my clothes after wearing them, I never hang them back up. I wash them and usually because the clothes that are affected are thinner, more delicate shirts, I never dry them, because I don't want wrinkles and it's less wear and tear on the material

Still none of this makes sense, I am sorry. Moths would not continuously attack the same spot, nor would a washing machine s "catches", or even zippers from other clothes. I wash my shirts each time I wear them and hang them up to dry. This is just ridiculous! I guess the response that makes the most sense is the thinness of the shirts. I JUST BOUGHT a new cotton shirt that I LOVE...can see the beginnings of the little holes forming. It is light cotton, so breezy and loose and perfect for summer. Makes me sick to think of tossing it after only having it a couple of moths. I don t have this kind of money. Sadness.

OMG, this happens to me all of the time and everyone thinks I am crazy. It is always in the exact same spot of every cotton/poly top or dress (usually black) and after washing it once or twice in cold. Not the washer (its new)because why would it always be in the exact same spot of the garment, lower front part. This is a mystery. I don't think moths eat cotten/polyester. This is driving me insane!

Sometimes the inside of a washer tub can get little sharp spots from metals and coins, especially if the tub is old. This can cause little holes and worn spots on your clothes.

Is it obtainable you divulge them to a caustic chemical? Battery acid (motor vehicle). Lye (drain cleaners). i've got sustained holes this way. Leaves ragged edges that are each so often discolored. the wear does no longer be observed for particularly a mutually as till after exposure. ~+~+~+~+~+~~+~ On edit after further info: have you ever checked your washer's bathtub for the reason? possibly some thing caught in between the little holes and abrading your clothing? possibly a chipped agitator?

Either one- it's a poor quality of material your shirt is made of. Or maybe you have an area of your washing machine that does have a catch in it. Or maybe you're drying your shirt in the wrong or hotter setting in the dryer. Or maybe you need to try washing your clothes with a more gentle detergent. Good Luck

It s either your jean/pants button or waist band where the button closes in the front. You know that floppy part of the denim waist band (corner) that keeps rubbing against the lower part of the tshirt. Eventually this friction unravels the delicate knit of the tshirt causing little holes. Denim is a tough tough fiber against delicate tshirts. You are always going to get little holes in front unless you purchase the type of tshirt made of a heavier knit (thicker tshirt material) Most tshirt cotton material are pretty thin.

If you put jeans or anything else with zippers in the washer and/or dryer, they may be getting caught on your other clothes.
