You won't have to throw away or give away the item.
A sweater that has shrunk in size can be saved with one simple procedure.
You don't have to buy any household chemicals for this. Just use baby shampoo during the next soak.
Even the cheapest product will help straighten out the shrunken fabric. You need to pour the shampoo into the cap and add it to the water for soaking.
The item should be placed in a basin for 10-15 minutes. Then the sweater should be taken out and wrapped in a towel. This action will help remove excess water without wringing out the item.
After soaking, the sweater should be dried horizontally.
Often, a sweater shrinks due to these 4 reasons.
1. The wrong washing mode was selected.
2. The detergent is not suitable for this item.
3. The water temperature is too high.
4. The spin speed is set too high for the machine spin.
