Submerge the shrunken piece of clothing in the solution and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes. The conditioner or shampoo helps to loosen the fibers, making them more malleable.
3. Gently stretch and reshape
After soaking, gently squeeze out the excess water without wringing the fabric. Lay the garment on a flat towel and roll the towel up to absorb more water. Unroll the towel and carefully start to stretch the fabric back to its original size. This might take a few gentle tugs and some patience.
4. Dry properly
Once you’re satisfied with the size, place the garment on a flat surface to air dry. Avoid hanging it, as the weight of the water can cause undesirable stretching in the wrong places.
By following these simple steps, you can rescue shrunken clothes and return them to their former glory. This technique is not only cost-effective but also prevents waste by extending the life of your clothing. Give it a try and rediscover the joy of wearing your favorite outfits again!
