The following three methods can effectively solve the shrinkage of sweaters:

Method 1: Heat the shrink sweater with a steam iron, and then stretch its fibers while it is hot. After ironing, the sweater can be restored to its original appearance after drying it flat. If the sweater has become long, you can use an iron to heat it locally after getting wet. If the whole sweater is loose, put it in a pot and steam for 20 minutes, spread it out and dry it.

Method 2: Add vinegar. White vinegar can help soften woolen products and make clothes that were originally tight and rigid become fluffy. Prepare a basin, add warm water, put in about 50 grams of white vinegar, and then soak the sweater in the water. After half an hour, take out the sweater. Pull it with your hand and let it dry, and the sweater will be restored to its original shape.

Method 3: High temperature can also make the sweater soft and restore its original shape. Prepare a pot of hot water. The water temperature should not be too high, about 70～80℃. At this temperature, the sweater will shrink slowly. Then soak the sweater for one hour, then remove it and put it in cold water, soak it for ten minutes, the stretchability of the sweater will be restored

To prevent the sweater from shrinking, pay attention to the cleaning method. The cleaning methods of sweaters of different materials should also be treated differently:

1. Cashmere sweaters should be dry cleaned. Sweaters made of cashmere have the best warmth retention, but cashmere is very fragile and deforms when exposed to water. It is only suitable for dry cleaning at a dry cleaner. Never wash it with water.

2. Wash wool sweaters in cold water. Wool sweaters must be washed in cold water, hot water will shrink the sweaters, not to mention washing machines, washing machines will also deform the sweaters. In addition, before washing, pat the dust off the sweater, add a special detergent for wool and gently rub and wash.

3. Wash ordinary sweaters gently. For sweaters of cotton, chemical fiber and other materials, you can choose to wash by hand. If you use a washing machine to wash, you should use a gentle mode or a drum washing machine. To prevent surface friction and pilling, remember to turn the sweater over before washing.

4. Color sweaters are washed with "material". Many sweaters are brightly colored and easy to fade. Soak the sweater in light salt water for 30 minutes before washing, and then perform normal washing procedures. The color fade will be alleviated. Or add a small amount of white vinegar during the washing process to neutralize the alkaline components in the detergent, and the color of the washed clothes will be more vivid.

Some netizens suggest the following methods, which can also solve the same problem:

Method 1. Pour warm water into the basin, drip a small amount of Amonia water for household use, and then immerse the sweater, the soap ingredients left on the wool thread will melt. Gently stretch the reduced part with both hands at the same time, and then rinse to dry. When it is half dry again, first use your hand to pull it apart to form the original shape, and iron it with an iron to restore the original size.

Method 2. Mix the conditioner and water in a ratio of 1:3, soak the sweater in it for about 10 minutes, then take it out, spread it flat on a large bath towel to absorb the moisture, and then gently stretch the sweater. Because the ingredients in the conditioner can soften the tight knitting kinks in the sweater, let the sweater naturally relax and restore to its original appearance.

Method 3. Shrink the sweater fiber and heat it with a steam iron, and then stretch the fiber with both hands while it is hot. The editor here needs to remind you that due to the limited heating area of ​​the steam iron, in order to ensure the uniform stretching of the fiber, the sweater is partially, segmented, divided into parts, and heated and stretched. It is impossible for the fiber to be stretched a lot at a time, and it needs to be heated and stretched many times.

Before stretching, there should be a plan for the total length of stretching, so that the stretching length of each section is also counted. After all the stretching is completed, the total length should be measured with a ruler. If the length is not enough, it can be repeated. Pay special attention to the size not to stretch too much, if you stretch too much, we can make appropriate adjustments.
