Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Prepare the Solution
Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and mix in about two tablespoons of hair conditioner or baby shampoo. Stir until fully dissolved.
2. Soak the Garment
Place the shrunken item in the solution, making sure it’s completely submerged. Let it soak for around 15 minutes to relax the fibers.
3. Gently Stretch the Fabric
Remove the garment without rinsing and carefully squeeze out excess water (avoid twisting or wringing). Lay it flat on a towel and gently stretch it back to its original size using your hands. Be cautious not to overstretch, as this can distort the shape.
4. Let It Air Dry
Once reshaped, leave the garment on the towel to dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can cause the fibers to shrink again.
Extra Tips for Delicate Fabrics
Wool & Cashmere: These fabrics can also be unshrunk using the same method, but handle them very gently to avoid damaging the fibers.
Preventing Shrinkage: Always check the care label before washing. Use cold water and air dry delicate items to minimize the risk of shrinking.
