There are clothes that should not go in the dryer. Everyone knows this, but we all can make mistakes. The end result is that most folks have accidentally lost a pair of pants or some other piece of clothing to the dryer’s magical shrinking ability. Certainly, that is what happened when the demonstrator’s husband put her new yoga pants in the dryer.
Most people would say you have lost your clothes forever if you shrink them in the dryer. Clothes don’t normally grow.
However, they would be wrong. This woman found a way to stretch clothes back to their original shape with a technique that involves a few simple household items. All you will need are 2 towels, a sink, warm water and a capful of baby shampoo. (Conditioner has also been suggested, but baby shampoo is what is in the recommendation.)
This trick relaxes the fibers enough to be reshaped. The longest part is air drying afterwards, and even that can be sped up with a heater. It is a very simple technique. It won’t be long before your clothes fit as they are supposed to. This technique won’t work with wool, but for all other clothes, it can be a life saver. Feel free to try this on your next accidentally shrunk shirt.
