Woolen clothes are a very common kind of clothes. When washing woolen clothes, we should pay attention to that some people shrink when washing woolen clothes, because the elasticity of woolen clothes is relatively large and can be recovered after shrinkage.
How to restore the shrunk wool clothes after washing
Steam with a steamer, wash and shrink the wool clothes, put a clean cloth on the inside of the steamer, and put the wool clothes into the steamer to heat it with water. After 15 minutes, take out the wool clothes. At this time, the wool clothes feel soft and fluffy. Take advantage of the heat to stretch the clothes to the original length.

Wool clothes shrink and recover easily
The first method: because the elasticity of wool clothes is relatively large, the shrinkage of wool clothes is really a headache for people who buy wool clothes. We can use the simplest way to get the sweater back to its original size. Dilute some amonia water into water and soak the wool sweater for 15 minutes. However, amonia’s ingredients can destroy the soap in woolen clothes, so it should be used with caution.
The second method: first, find a thick piece of cardboard and pull the sweater to its original size. This method requires two people. Remember not to pull too hard in the process of pulling, and gently try to pull down. Then iron the pulled sweater with an iron to set it.
The third way: you can do it easily by yourself. Wrap the wool sweater with a clean towel and put it on the steamer. Remember to wash the steamer and don’t let the oil smell on the steamer get on the wool sweater. Steam for ten minutes, take it out, and then pull the sweater back to its original size and dry it.
The fourth method: in fact, the same as the third method can solve the problem of how to deal with the shrinkage of woolen clothes To send the clothes to the dry cleaner, just take them to the dry cleaner, dry clean them first, then find a special shelf of the same model as the clothes, hang the sweater, and after high-temperature steam treatment, the clothes can be restored to their original appearance, and the price is the same as that of dry cleaning.
Shrinkage and reduction method of clothes
Take sweaters for example. Sweaters are a good choice for single wear in spring and autumn. In winter, they can also be used as a bottomed shirt to wear in a coat. Almost everyone will have one or two or more sweaters. Sweaters are common in life, but they are also easy to shrink. In case of shrinkage, if there is a steam iron at home, you can heat it with the iron first. Because the heating area of the iron is limited, you can stretch the sweater locally first, and then stretch the other parts to the length of the clothes for many times. Be careful not to stretch too long. Steaming with a steamer is also a feasible method. After the clothes shrink, put them in the steamer and heat them in water. Remember to pad them with clean gauze. Just steam for a few minutes, and then pull the clothes back to their original length to dry. Find a thick board, make it the same length as the original size of the clothes, fix the edge of the clothes around the board, and then iron it back and forth with an iron for several times, and the clothes can return to shape. Some friends said that add a little household amonia water with warm water, completely immerse the clothes, gently lengthen the shrunk part by hand, wash it with clean water and dry it. If the clothes shrink, it is the simplest way to send them directly to the dry cleaner. If the boys’ sweaters shrink, there is no need to deal with them. Wouldn’t it be better to take them directly to their girlfriends.
Methods to prevent shrinkage
1、 The best water temperature is about 35 degrees. When washing, you should squeeze it gently by hand. Do not rub, knead or twist it by hand. Never use a washing machine.
2、 Neutral detergent must be used. Generally, the ratio of water to detergent is 100:3.
3、 When rinsing, add cold water slowly to gradually reduce the water temperature to room temperature, and then rinse it clean.
4、 After washing, first press it by hand to press out the water, and then wrap it with a dry cloth. You can also use a centrifugal dehydrator. Pay attention to wrap the wool sweater with cloth before putting it into the dehydrator; You can’t dehydrate for too long. You can only dehydrate for 2 minutes at most.
5、 After washing and dehydration, the woolen clothes should be spread out in a ventilated place to dry. Do not hang or expose to the sun to avoid deformation of the woolen clothes. I hope I can help you
