If your shirt’s size is a bit big for you, you can easily fix this problem with these simple and easy ways. Whether you would like to use a washing machine or a just a pot in your kitchen, you can easily shrink your shirt by trying one of these methods:
By Using Boiled Water
1. Boil water in a large pot
2. Once it’s boiling, remove the pot from heat and then put your shirt in the pot (the hotter the water results in more shrinkage).
- If you want the shirt to shrink about 1 to 2 sizes, put your shirt in immediately after you remove the pot from the stove.
- If you want the shirt to shrink about 1/2 to 1 size, wait for 5 minutes before putting the shirt in the hot water.
- If you want your shirt to shrink about 1/4 to 1/2 size, wait for 10-15 minutes before putting the shirt in the water.
- Allow the shirt soak in the hot water for about 5 minutes (Also, the longer the shirt is in the hot water, the more it shrinks).
4. Drain the water and let the shirt cool off for a while before handling it, you don’t wanna burn yourself!
5. Wring the shirt out and let it air dry.
By Washing in Hot Water
1. Wash your shirt in your washing machine while using the hottest water temperature available.
2. Once the wash cycle is complete, put the shirt in the dryer and dry thoroughly using a medium heat setting.
3. Once your shirt is fully dry, it should shrink to the size you like!
