Answer 3

Wash in hot water and then dry in hot heat and they will be shrunk.

No guarantees they won't get too shurnk though! And most cotton shirts now a days are preshrunk, so it may be harder to shrink them.

If you wash clothing in hot or warm water, the colors all might run together and you'll come out with all brown clothing that isn't pretty. That's why they say wash in cold and separately. Or with like colors. Plaid can and will run the first few times of washing it, so best to wash alone for the first few times anyway. Some white vinegar in there will help set the color a little faster. Half a cup.

Answer 4

so put it in warm water & then put it in the dryer
