Laundry Woes

I am pretty particular (a word T often uses to describe me) about what I put in the dryer.  A big no, no – jeans and anything that has the potential of shrinking, even the slightest bit. 

The other morning I realized that one of my favorite dresses was mistakenly placed in the dryer.  After letting out a loud sigh, I realized that I should be grateful that I have such an amazing husband who helps out so much around the house.  I am a very lucky lady.  T is usually the one who cooks dinner during the work week every day of the week, doesn’t complain when I recruit him on my crazy cleaning sprees, and willingly helps out with the laundry.   

So, the only thing I could do was problem solve.  I’ve used water and conditioner on shrunken clothing in the past, but wanted to make sure that I followed the best process this time around.  I did a search and and it looks like water + conditioner = the standard process to fix shrunken clothing.

1. Add 2-3 tablespoons of hair conditioner to room temperature water

2. Soak garment for approximately 5 minutes


3. Lay garment on a clean dry towel and gently stretch/reshape

4. Allow garment to dry


I will let you know how it turns out.
