Who would have thought that shampoo has truly miraculous properties when it comes to washing clothes.

True, this statement does not apply to any product intended for washing hair, but only to those created for children.

It turns out that baby shampoo can return shrunken knitwear to its original size.

If you have sent a knitted item to the wash, and when you take it out of the washing machine drum, you notice that now the sweater or any other item of clothing looks much smaller, you should proceed as follows.

Fill a basin with warm water and add a small amount of baby shampoo.

Immerse the deformed product in the resulting solution.

After some time, assess the condition of the item - as a rule, after soaking, knitwear straightens out and becomes soft to the touch.

The only thing left to do is dry the clothes using a terry towel and, by carefully stretching them, return them to their original size.
