Take some baby shampoo, dissolve it in a suitable amount of water and soak the damaged item in this solution.

It is important that the water is not hot, but warm. Soak the items for 40 minutes, then rinse, wring out and dry.

Once the procedure is complete, the items need to be carefully stretched.

Housewives who practice this method assure that the situation changes almost before their eyes.

In addition to the fact that things take on their original appearance, the material becomes softer, as if they were washed with a good conditioner.
