Holes in t-thirts..why???

[Mikki77]

WHY do ally cotton t-shirts have tiny holes in? I don't wear belts so it's not that.
One friend swears it's moths the other says its biological washing tablets???

What is it and how do I stop it?

As someone has already suggested, it's a bra thing. Make sure that they're done up before you put them in (or of course hand-wash them but....)

I read using too much laundry detergent and/or over filling the washing machine can cause this.

If you wash your bras in the same load as the t-shirts, it's probably the hooks on the bras. If you do them up before popping them in the wash it should solve the problem.

It only happened to my clothes at a time I lived in a house with a dryer.
So I'm saying dryer 🤷‍♀️

I think it’s worktops and jeans buttons and that’s why the holes always appear in the same place. I started tucking tshirts in at the front when I read that on here and now have some newer tshirts that have remained unholy.

But the hooks on bra thing doesn’t figure either as the holes are always in the same place 🤷‍♀️

Mine are usually holey due to burns - small ones from sparks and larger ones when I've managed, yet again, to set myself on fire.

I concluded I was catching t shirt in zip of jacket - most other explanations suggested here don't account for the holes being in the same place on every t shirt

I don't have this issue, get good wearing out of mine, DP (who is bigger and uses belts) and DC clothes. Often have a full load and wash on fast spin and tumble. Unless there is something catching in your machine I'd be surprised is spinning clothes causes holes. Do you have a rough area in your wardrobe or, has been suggested, a rough kitchen worktop?

Like others have said kitchen worktops. I had this a few years back when we had corian worktops (manmade stone). The worktop felt perfectly smooth to touch but caused holes in all my tees. Apparently it’s a thing!

I had this with tshirts belonging to DH but it was only a certain tshirt of which he had about four
of but different colours. We have moved house and I have noticed it on one of my tshirts but only one the rest are fine. Dh tshirts are ok for now

Can’t be moths here as the few cashmere things I have are fine. I was told that it was caused by the washing machine, possibly if you overfill the machine. I always hook up bras and zip up he’s s etc. I got one on a brand new top once - I would have done a little mend but it was right on the front - very noticeable.
