How do clothes shrink in the laundry?


Question:

Answers:
The heat of the water, or the dryer, tightens the fibers in the clothing so they shrink up. This is especially true for natural fibers (wool, cotton, linen.)


Wash them twice in hot water and dry them twice on high heat.. Works evertime...
it is because you are over loading the washing machine or you may need to add some borax or even amonia works well. Tide is the cheapest luandry soap out there, because you dont have to use as much to clean your clothes. Also mix 1 part Tide to 2 parts water in a spray bottle to hit the stains.
your clothes are shrinking because you may be heating up the molecules in the clothing to a temperature not intended for that type of materiel either by washing in hot water or heating in the dryer
lower quality clothing tends to shrink faster than higher end clothing read the clothing labels and follow all washing instructions if you still have trouble then take them to be dry cleaned
