Did you know that the trick to unshrinking clothing is actually so simple? Even a 5 year old could do it (with instructions of course!)

Whether your clothes shrunk from putting it in the dryer when you’re not suppose to or not washing at the right temperature, this issue can be fixed!

Here are the two simple methods you can try to unshrink your clothes:

Method 1

1. Fill a bucket or sink with luke-warm water.
2. Add two spoonfuls of baby shampoo or hair conditioner and agitate to mix it in with the water.
3. Soak garment in water for 30 mins and periodically stretch out garment (whilst in water) to it’s original shape.
4. Rinse out conditioner and lay clothing flat on towel to dry. 

Method 2

1. Fill a bucket or sink with luke-warm water.
2. Add two spoonfuls of baby shampoo or hair conditioner and agitate to mix it in with the water.
3. Soak garment in water for 30mins
4. Remove garment (rinse with clean water is optional).
5. Lay garment on a flat towel and roll to remove excess moisture. Let towel soak up moisture for 10 mins.
6. Unroll towel, remove garment and transfer onto a new, dry towel and lay clothing flat on the towel.
7. Gently pull and stretch out the fabric until it is back to it’s original shape and hold the shape in place by placing heavy objects on the edges (you can use mugs or books). 
8. Allow clothing to completely dry on the towel.

To avoid your clothes shrinking, make sure you always read the care label. Some items of clothing are too sensitive to take on heat and that’s why laundry care labels are there to instruct us on how to properly take care of our clothes.
