Trick to unshrink clothing

Ever put some clothes in the dryer only to find it’s shrunk beyond recognition and now fits your grandkids? There’s now a simple trick to unshrink clothing.  

1. Fill up a bucket of lukewarm water, making sure it’s not too hot.

2. Add one tablespoon of soft hair conditioner to the bucket. Hair conditioner relaxes the clothing fibres, making it easy to stretch your clothes back into shape.

3. Soak the piece of clothing for half an hour and gently stretch the item out to its original shape. Hand wash to rinse out condition and lay out flat to dry.
