Have you bought that NEW shirt and accidentally put it in the laundry, and well it shrunk.  Almost all of us have experienced this moment. The feeling is even worse when that piece of clothing doesn’t belong to you!

Here is a little secret DIY trick that just may help you.
All you need is baby shampoo and lukewarm water.

  • Fill the laundry sink or bucket with lukewarm water.
  • Add a lid full or 1/3 of a cup of baby shampoo or conditioner to the warm water
  • Soak the clothing in the soapy water for half an hour

This procedure is set to relax the fibers in your clothes to allow it to go back to its natural size.

After the half an hour is over, wring out the access water and lay flat to dry.
