How to avoid shrinking your clothes during washing and drying?







Why clothes shrink


Clothes are made from stretched-out fibres like cotton, wool, or synthetic. Heat, water and agitation from drum movements all have a knack for releasing that tension. So, expose your garment to too much heat at the washing or drying stage, and all those little fibres will relax. Suddenly that size 8 dress is a size 2, and you’ve learned an expensive lesson.




Steps to prevent shrinkage






Step 1: Read your garment’s care labels


Care labels tell you all you need to know when it comes to looking after your garment properly. They explain how to wash it, dry it, and what you can and can’t do to it.

You can take a look at this guide  to help you get your head around care label symbols, and once you do, you’ll be taking care of your clothes like a pro!
