Wavy zipper when drying clothes?
Question:I'm trying to figure out how to dry a garment without making the zipper go all funky and get all wavy. I'm hang drying the item, but I was sort of wanting to dry it to shrink it a bit. Any tips on how to dry something without screwing up the zipper and making it all wavy?
Answers:
I would suggest letting the garment dry completely. Yes..the zipper will get wavy.
Take a pressing cloth, (a thin cotton dish towel will work) and a steam iron.
Place the cloth over the zipper and lightly straighten the zipper while you press it with a steam iron. It will remove the waviness of the zipper.
If you shrink the clothes the zipper won't shrink and will get wavy. There is no way around the physics of it all. If you don't want it to get wavy wash in cold and dry on low... but the clothes won't shrink.
