Realizing that your favorite shirt or sweater has shrunk in the wash can be frustrating. But don’t worry—there’s a quick and effective way to bring it back to its original size. With just a few common household items, you can gently stretch the fabric back into shape in about 15 minutes.
Why Do Clothes Shrink?
Shrinkage happens when fibers in the fabric contract due to heat, moisture, and agitation during washing or drying. Natural fibers like cotton, wool, and linen are especially vulnerable, as high temperatures and vigorous spinning cause them to tighten. Understanding why shrinkage occurs can help you not only fix the problem but also prevent it in the future.
The 15-Minute Unshrinking Method
This simple technique helps relax the fibers so you can reshape the garment with minimal effort.
