Did the little friend encounter this situation, and bought a cashmere sweater at a high price, and it shrank after washing it once. What should I do? Don't be afraid! Talking about how to recover cashmere sweaters after shrinking today is like writing about the feeling of coming back to life in spring.

Today, I will teach you how to resurrect cashmere sweaters and how to recover after shrinking!

First of all, why does cashmere sweater shrink?

The raw material of pure cashmere sweater is cashmere, and its scale arrangement structure is not as tight and deep as wool, so pure cashmere is not easy to shrink unless the water-washing shrinkage process is not in place or the washing method is wrong (such as hot water and machine washing).

The shrinkage of cashmere sweater blended with wool and cashmere is determined by the mixed fiber material of the clothes. Because wool itself shrinks, cashmere sweaters mixed together will shrink if they are not washed correctly.

Secondly, the cashmere sweater has shrunk, how to recover?

We need to see how much it has shrunk. If it is reduced by more than 8 cm, it will be very serious and it will not be easy to recover. If it is less than 5 cm, we can also recover at home through the following tips.

1. Fix with cardboard

Make the cardboard into a rectangle with the same width as the bust.

It's best to polish that hole with polishing paper to avoid hooking our cashmere sweater, then help to soak the sweater a little, pay attention to drain the water, put the sweater on the cardboard, and put more clips on the lower part to prevent it from shrinking.

Then use our electric iron to steam iron repeatedly, stretch all parts of the sweater, restore it to its original size, and then dry it overnight to take it off.

2. Send it to the dry cleaner. This is a more worry-free way. After shrinking, send it to the dry cleaner for dry cleaning, and then find a special shelf of the same model as the clothes, hang cashmere sweaters, and iron them with high temperature steam to set them.

3. I don't recommend other methods of using liquid medicine, because it will destroy the protein fiber of cashmere, and it is not very good for clothes.

Finally, how can cashmere sweaters be washed without shrinking?

The water temperature should be controlled below 35 degrees. Use cashmere sweater special detergent or neutral detergent instead of soap. Don't put too little detergent, or it will shrink easily if it is not cleaned. The ratio of water to detergent is 3: 1. Most importantly, don't use the washing machine, don't wring it out, wrap it in cloth and dry it.
