Reasons for shrinkage of clothes

First you should know what causes deformation of the tissues. So, the fibers of the fabric change because of:

• Too high water temperature, in which things were worn out;
• Too intense washing;
• Strippers during ironing;
• Drying in the machine or on a hot object.

For the washing of certain fabrics, only warm water is suitable, because of the high temperature they become discolored, begin to sit down and roll up. If it is wrong to choose an intensive wash, the fabric not only sits down, the villous stuck to it, the pellets appear, which leads to the loss of an attractive appearance. Most importantly, this effect can occur with absolutely any tissue. For example, when you wash, it sits and deforms:

• jersey;
• viscose;
• flax;
• cotton;
• wool.

And this is not the whole list.

When ironing wet things with steaming, it is also possible to reduce the size. It is better to wait for the fabric to dry, but not dry.

Important! If the washing machine has a drying mode, use it very carefully. Usually such modes are very aggressive.
