How do you prevent clothes from shrinking?
Question:
Answers:
Wash in cold water. Dry cotton items on medium. Hang anything polyester, spandex, or knit.
Was in cold water and line dry
Read your cleaning tags on the items and follow them. If you don't have them, read your tag description of your fabrics. And if you can't decide, cold water wash and dry on delicate low.
Hand wash them in luke warm water if you are in doubt, and drip dry them flat. Or get them dry cleaned, if you can afford it or it's an expensive item. Otherwise you could do what they did in the Levi's advert, the one where he has a bath in his jeans lol
Read the tag that the garment individually has and follow directions. Those that need to be dry cleaned must be dry cleaned unless you want to dispose them in garbage can once washed normally. Others: Wash them in cold/cold water and hang dry them or dry them with delicate super low heat and get them out of the dryer before they are completely dry.
Your best option is to hang dry them.
Warm wash/Cold rinse
6 minutes of wash time
Gentle agitate/Slow spin
Low dryer heat
