What should I do if my sweater shrinks after washing it? The following methods can be used to restore the shrinking sweater.
1. Steam ironing restores the shrink sweater.
Heat the shrink sweater fiber with a steam iron, and then use both hands to lengthen the fiber while it is hot. According to experience, because 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, you should have a clear idea of the total length of the stretch, so that you can also determine the length of each section. After all, use a ruler to measure the total length. If the length is not enough, you can repeat it. Pay special attention to the size not to over-tighten, and make appropriate adjustments in the end.
The operation should be carried out on the ironing table. You can lay a blanket on the desktop at home. After all, it is best to be heated and shaved by a portrait camera.
2. Restore shrinkage sweater method for household use AMONIA water
Inject warm water into the washbasin, drip a small amount of household use AMONIA water, and then soak the sweater, 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.
3. Recover shrinkable sweater by spraying spraying method
Just fold the sweater back first, adjust the shape, and use the sprayer to spray some water on the sweater. The next step is to use both hands, pull the sweater with one hand and pull it bigger, and use the iron with the other hand to iron the pulled part.
4. Thick cardboard restores shrinkage sweater
There is a way to enlarge the shrinkage after washing. The specific method is: use thick cardboard (cardboard in home appliance packaging box) to cut it into the size and shape of the original sweater. It is best to polish the cutter with sandpaper to avoid catching the sweater. Put the sweater on cardboard, use a few more clothespins to fix it on the lower foot, and then use an electric iron to steam and iron each part of the sweater repeatedly, and then remove it after it has cooled completely.
5. Send the dry cleaner to restore the shrinkable sweater
Just take the clothes to the dry cleaner, dry clean first, then find a special rack of the same model as the clothes, hang the sweater, and after high temperature steam treatment, the clothes can be restored to their original appearance, and the price is the same as dry cleaning.
Reminder: After buying a sweater, pay attention to the labels in the clothes and do not wash and use them on sweaters that need dry cleaning. What should I do if my cardigan shrinks? How to make a new wool sweater loses its luster
