How do you stop shirts from shrinking?

Question

How do you?

Answer 1

The best way I've found is to wash them in cold water only and dry them on low heat.  If it is a sweater (as opposed to a t-shirt type material), you would want to lay it flat to dry.

Answer 2

Wash according to the directions on the tag and hang dry.

Answer 3

Wash in cold water, dry flat on a towel, do not put in the dryer, use woolite. This alos helps with color fastness.

Answer 4

Well, I think that the best thing to do is to wash on whatever the tag tells you to do and as far as the drying goes, hang the shirt out to dry. If you don't have a clothes line, an alternative is to grab a clothes hanger, and hang the shirt up inside the house on a door or something and for quicker drying, if you have a small fan or something, let that blow on it. Yes, I have done this many times.

Answer 5

Either what the first person responded or shink it until is unshinkable by washing it in hot water and machine drying it.

Answer 6
