How to clean the sweater so that it will not shrink
1. What should I do if the wool sweater shrinks?
Method 1: Hand washing
1. Mix warm water with some gentle laundry detergent. You can also use a special wool cleaning solution, but remember to read the laundry label first.
2. Soak the sweater in the prepared water and soak for about 5 minutes.
3. Carefully knead and rinse the sweater with warm water.
4. After rinsing, squeeze out as much water from your sweater as possible, remember not to twist or wring it dry.
5. Then wrap the sweater in a large towel and gently squeeze or wring it out. Don't fold it, spread it flat on a new towel and place it in a cool place to let it dry naturally.
Remember: Never put your sweater in the dryer or tumble dryer.
Method 2: Machine wash
Overall, it is recommended that you only machine wash hats, scarves and gloves. Just in case, you won't lose too much money, and buying a scarf is much easier than buying a new one that you like the thick knit sweater. Always remember that these clothes "can be machine-washed" just means you can use a washing machine, but there are always certain risks. Remember to use a gentle laundry program or specifically for sweater washing programs (depending on your washing machine) because regular laundry programs can cause clothing to shrink. Choose the right temperature, usually 30 degrees, and some washing machines have the logo of a ball of yarn next to it.
Method 3: Dry cleaning
If you don't want to be so troublesome, you can send your sweater to the dry cleaning shop. Most wool clothes can be dry cleaned. But you should still be careful because frequent use of irritating chemicals can damage the fabric.
Never put your wool clothes into the washing machine, even if you use a laundry program specifically for wool. Never put it in the dryer.
How to Wash Wool Sweater In supermarkets, there are special wool detergents, which effect is better than soap and washing powder. It does not require hard scrubbing of laundry, and rinsing is convenient and does not damage the laundry. It is best not to use a washing machine to wash, as it will deform. The best way is to go to a dry cleaner to dry cleaner.
2. How to recover if the sweater shrinks?
1. Inject warm water into the basin, drip into a small amount of household ammonia water, and then soak the sweater in, and the soap ingredients left on the wool will dissolve. Gently stretch the reduced part with both hands, then flush and dry. When it is half dry, first pull it open with your hands to form the original shape. After ironing it with an iron, you can restore the original size.
2. Mix the conditioner and water in a ratio of 1:3, soak the sweater in it for about 10 minutes, then take it out, spread it flat on a large bath towel and suck it dry, and then gently stretch the sweater. Because the ingredients in the conditioner can soften the tight knits in the sweater, allowing the sweater to relax naturally and return to its original state.
3. Heat the shrinkable sweater fiber with a steam iron, and then use both hands to lengthen the fiber while it is hot. Here, the editor needs to remind you that since the heating area of the steam iron is limited, in order to ensure uniform fiber stretching, local, segmented, sectioned, and heating stretching methods are used for sweaters. It is impossible to stretch a lot of fibers at one time, and they need to be heated and stretched repeatedly. Before stretching, there should be a plan for the total length of the stretch, so that the stretching length of each section is also counted. After all, use a ruler to measure the total length. If the length is not enough, repeat it. Pay special attention to the size and do not over-tighten the head. If it is over-tighten, we can also make appropriate adjustments.
