Sweaters are a very common piece of clothing, so be careful when washing woollen clothes. Some people will shrink when washing wool clothes, because wool clothes are more elastic and can recover after shrinking. Next, I will introduce to you a small method of shrinking and restoring wool clothes. Let's take a look.

1.How to recover the shrinkage of wool clothes after washing?(easy recovery method for wool clothes to shrink)

• Steam in a steamer,wash the sweater and shrink it,then put a clean cloth in the steamer,lay the sweater flat in the steamer,add water to heat.Fifteen minutes later,take out the sweater.At this point,the sweater feels soft and fluffy.Use heat to stretch the clothes to their original length,and lay them flat to dry, not vertically,otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.Friends who don't know how to operate don't have to worry,sending it to a dry cleaner has the same effect.
• Because the elasticity of wool sweaters is relatively large,shrinkage does make people who buy wool sweaters a headache.We can restore the sweater to its original size in the easiest way.Dilute some ammonia into water and soak the sweater for fifteen minutes.However,the ingredients in Armonia contain soapy ingredients that can damage cardigans,so use them sparingly.
• First find a piece of thicker cardboard and pull the sweater to its original size.This method requires two people.Remember not to use too much force during the pulling process,and try to pull down as gently as possible.Then iron the drawn sweater to set it.
• Do it easily.Wrap the sweater with a clean towel and put it on the steamer.Remember to clean the steamer to avoid the oily smell of the steamer getting on the sweater.Steam fo ten minutes,remove,pull the sweater back to its original size,and let dry.

• In fact, the same as the third method,how to solve the problem of sweater shrinkage,send it to the dry cleaner, just take the clothes to the dry cleaner,dry clean first,and then find a special rack of the same model as the clothes.Hang up the sweater,steam it on high heat,and it can be restored to its original shape,and the price is the same as dry cleaning.

 2.How to prevent shrinkage?

• The water temperature should be around 35 degrees.When washing,it should be squeezed gently by hand,and it should not be rubbed,kneaded or twisted by hand.Never use a washing machine.
• Neutral detergents must be used.When in use,the general ratio of water to detergent is 100:3.
• Slowly add cold water when rinsing,so that the water temperature gradually drops to room temperature,and then rinse clean.
• After washing,first press out the water by hand,then wrap it with a dry cloth and press it tightly,or use a centrifugal dehydrator.Note that the sweater should be wrapped with cloth before putting it into the dehydrator;the dehydration time should not be too long,and it can only be dehydrated for 2 minutes at most.

• After washing and dehydrating the sweater,it should be spread out in a ventilated place to dry,do not hang or expose to the sun,so as to avoid deformation of the sweater.

The above is the explanation of the small method of shrinking and restoring woolen clothes.I hope it will be helpful to everyone.See you next time.
