Hey folks, I just got a Ralph Lauren polo tee as a gift, but I'm worried I might have messed it up. Initially, it was super soft and comfy, but after just two washes, it feels hard and kind of rough, almost sandy. I did the usual easy care wash with a bit of fabric softener like I do for my other clothes. I read that I might have overused or chosen the wrong detergent. Does anyone have tips on how to get it back to its original softness and also how to prevent this with my other clothes in the future? Thanks a ton!

Just a heads up, often it's simply the material that affects durability and softness. Make sure you're following the washing instructions closely. I've had polos that felt better with lower heat settings and avoiding dryer sheets altogether. Cold water generally does the trick for me!
