Soak for at least 1 or 2 hours. Wash off with regular detergents. This will soften the cloth removing undesired stiffness of the starch. According to:

The ones made from oxford cloth I have starched. LIGHT starch. Someone goofed and made three of them heavy starch. They can stand by themselves they are so hard. Is there anything I might use to remove the starch so that he could wear them again. The cleaner has washed them about six times. Two have almost become wearable. The last one is still impossible. If you have any suggestions Iwould be very appreciative. I don’t know if you can help or not. i take my husband’s shirts to the dry cleaners. The ones made from oxford cloth I have starched.
