How to Unshrink a Sweater
How to Unshrink a Sweater. You can salvage and resize that favorite sweater that someone (not you, of course) popped into the dryer. As we all know, accidents happen. Even laundry accidents.
There's a tried-and-true method that's worked for me when the kids were learning to do laundry - and learning to solve some of the challenging dilemmas this created. Like the incredible shrinking sweater. Here's how to get the sweater back into shape: 1 Soak it in a sinkful of warm water and 2 tablespoons of baby shampoo. About 15 minutes should allow enough time for the shampoo to relax the fibers so that you may begin the letting-out process. 2 Remove the sweater from the water. Roll it in a towel to reduce moisture. 3 Pin the damp sweater to a large corkboard. Stretch to size as far as it will go. 4 Return every few hours to re-stretch and re-pin the sweater until it's dry. It make take several stretching and re-pinning sessions, but if you adore that angora (or wool, or cashmere) - you'll be glad you took the time.  Custom Search 10 Steps to Cleaner Clothes
