Shrinking clothes can be disheartening, but a method exists to potentially rescue them using household products. Experts suggest soaking shrunken garments in lukewarm water mixed with hair conditioner or baby shampoo. This method aids in stretching the fabric back into shape. The tendency of fabrics to shrink is related to the fibre memory of common textiles, like cotton and linen, which can return to their natural form when exposed to heat and moisture. Though this technique won't reverse extreme shrinkage, it can help recover some size.
Soaking a shrunken garment in lukewarm water mixed with hair conditioner or baby shampoo allows you to recover some lost size and make it wearable again.
Common textile fibres, such as cotton and linen, are irregular and crinkled in form; they can shrink when exposed to heat and moisture during washing.
