Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare the Solution
- Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add about a tablespoon of baby shampoo or gentle hair conditioner. Mix well to create a soapy solution.
- Soak the Garment
- Submerge the shrunken clothing in the solution and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. The conditioner or shampoo will help loosen the fibers, making them more pliable.
- Gently Stretch and Reshape
- After soaking, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing the fabric. Lay the garment flat on a towel and roll the towel up to absorb more water. Unroll the towel and carefully stretch the fabric back to its original size. This may require some gentle tugs and patience.
- Dry Properly
- Once you’re satisfied with the size, lay the garment flat on a surface to air dry. Avoid hanging it, as the weight of the water can cause unwanted stretching.
By following these steps, you can rescue shrunken clothes and return them to their former glory. This technique is cost-effective and helps reduce waste by extending the life of your clothing. Give it a try and enjoy wearing your favorite outfits again!
