Send them to the laundry - all those white kandooras (dishdashas) are kept pristine by being washed and ironed in the countless number of laundries plying their trade across the Emirates.

I guess that if the shop is the sort where lots of people like to try stuff on (M&S, etc) then it might be a reason to wash first.

My work shirts were white. After 10 or so washes they'd go grey. It took about about 6 washes with napisan/oxyactions type stuff to bring them back.

I guess I wash all new clothes cos my mum did
