Hi! I have Siemens Siwamat washing machine model 5030, it is around 25 years old but works fine. BUT I am finding my shirt collars are suffering and wearing out too quickly despite trying the gentler programs. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice as to which new machine would be kindest to shirt collars?... Thank you!

Ha something excessively worn (apart from your collars) inside the drum zone?
Maybe your neck is getting rougher?
No I don't think so! I'm interested in getting a new machine with a shirts mode...hopefully will reduce wear.

Try putting your shirts inside a pillowcase or a specially designed washbag. It should reduce wear on the collars because they won't contact with the drum.
