Shrunken garments can frequently be restored using baby shampoo or conditioner, which remains mild enough to loosen sensitive fabric threads. This unexpected technique helps clothing recover its original dimensions and form.
Combine warm water with a modest amount of baby shampoo or conditioner in a bowl. Immerse the shrunken garment for 10-15 minutes to soften the fibers. Gently press the clothing dry with a towel, avoiding squeezing or twisting, then spread it flat to air dry. As the material dries, it will slowly return to its initial size, rescuing your beloved clothes from disposal.
