On the tag it says machine wash COLD and tumble dry low.
I was just wondering that if I wash it with cold water, wouldn't the shirt STILL be a little dirty even after the wash?
(I usually do machine wash warm but I noticed shirnkage...)
Thanks

MY QUESTION IS : DOES WASHING CLOTHES IN COLD WATER CLEAN THE CLOTHES 100% EFFECTIVELY AS HOT WATER?

I would wash it in cold water and hang to dry....:)
Drying does the most shrinking.

Cold water can get your clothes just as clean. I only use warm water on something that is heavily soiled. But if you are just washing it after regular use, then cold is fine. You should always follow the care instructions. They are put there for a reason. Lots of time and testing goes into making sure those labels have the correct information so your clothes stay in great shape.
It also helps when you are shopping for clothes, look on the label to see if the garment is already pre-shrunk. That means that you will see little or no shrinkage once you get it home and wash it.

Follow the instructions on the label.

Yes it does... It helps with removing certain stains too.
