  1. Wash in hot water a bunch of times

    and put it in the dryer afterwards.


  2. Hot water and the highest cycle on your dyer! =]

  3. wash it, warm tumble dry in dryer :)

  4. Hot wash, Hot/Warm rinse, and the longest/highest setting on your dryer.  Skip the fabric softener for that first wash (or two) and wash/dry it by itself.  I've found that if i wash things together, some things that are longer will tend to tie themselves up with other garments, and then you will have the possibility of the shirt getting stretched out, rather than shrunk.

  5. To make any cotton shrink, wash it in hot water and dry it on a hot temp cycle. Usually the more you wash it the more it shrinks also. But I have had things that were cotton but prewashed that did not shrink as much as regular cotton, check the label to see if it is prewashed cotton. Now there are a lot of jeans that are prewashed so they don't shrink so much after washing. You can also sew the seams up on a sewing machine to get a better fit, dry cleaners usually have someone who can do this for you or check with a friend. Good luck and God Bless, Elle T
