If you've ever had a favorite piece of clothing shrink in the dryer, you know how upsetting it can be! Luckily, this process makes it easy to "UNSHRINK" your clothing! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I used 2 tablespoons of fabric softener instead of baby shampoo and it worked, so to anyone who wants to use fabric softener, it works
I always "unshrink" my cotton, rayon, cotton blend etc. clothes. I wash them cold and dry them on medium and if they shrink I dip them into my sink ful of just warm water and then hang them on my hanger from my shower rod and pull them gently and reshaped them that way. I push the item behind the shower curtain and let them drip. Later on I pull on them and see what else they need to be the length I need them to be and let them dry there. I have clothes that I have to do this process to just because they twist and are not fitting the right way, you know the sleeves or sometimes a legging leg etc. I hate when the seam is all twisted. I never use anythink other than warm water. It always works but it never works on jeans and like the lady said it doesn't work on wool. I saw a product on TV once, a solution, that worked to unshrink wool by softening and relaxing the wool fibers. I'm not sure how is called.
This totally worked! I shrunk my wife's cashmere sweatpants and this helped unshrink them. A million "thanks" for posting this video.
Marko Jokanovic might’ve saved my marriage. Hahaha.

@Marko Jokanovic bosanski ?
@Preston Hocker i'm in trouble my husband's cloths is all shruk 😭 i hope this works
@@itisaisyah good luck!!
This worked for me! I didn't have baby shampoo so I used hair conditioner per another comment and my 100% rayon pants are saved.
Wonderful!! Glad to hear it! :-)
why is it always the husband....
Hello Jillee, I have a polar/fleece sweater too small for me, is it ok to use the same procedure and baby product for this specific material ? Thank you
missingno does it matter what hair conditioner it is
Hey Jillee, I have a question. Do you know what a good substitute for baby shampoo and conditioner? Could i use vinegar?
My designer sweater went from xl to infant
It be like that 😭
Same
happened to my astroworld hoodie
Same my 4 polo jackets went from medium to extra small
Yep my og Nelk hoodie got fucked. Looking to get it fixed so I can sell it
i used my bath and body work shower Gel and it worked like a charm! Now my shirt is back to its normal size, and it smells fantastic. This video is a lifesaver. TIP: When you stretch it out its easier to do it when its soaking wet then take the moisture out, than the other way around (:
strangest thing ever is that I am a teenage boy watching this video so I can learn how to "adult"
ivan dong swearrr
Same lol
ivan dong I KNOW RIGHT
ivan dong relatable
ivan dong me toooo
This is a quick way but if you happen to have washed your clothes, take them out as they are out of the washing machine without drying them. Stretch them out at the edges you want. Make sure the garment is still wet but not too wet. This has always worked for me. Your idea is very helpful though
Wooooow. I can’t believe how easy this is. I just saved like half my clothes with this!!!! THANK YOU!!!
This method really works!!! I've tried on cotton T-shirt and it came back to normal! Thank you Jillee for posting it!
A tip for wool sweaters if they shrunk. Plunge them into very (very) hot water and when (very) wet grab it by the collar swing up and down (while hot) until the size you want. Then, while it's very wet and heavy (from the water) hang them and let the water weight do the rest. My mom done it a lot o f times and it works. Hope you like the tip and it helps.
How hot is 'very (very)' hot? And I thought that heat was the reason for shrinking in the first place? Or is that only once it dries or is spun? Does the high heat momentarily loosen the fibers? And as for swinging, I worry that it would unevenly stretch, more where I'm holding on to it. And how would it affect the sleeves? Thanks.
@@SolidGoldHedgehog idk try it. Too many questions
I just put it on and take a hot shower lol
bonus points if you wear it for the rest of the day, frequently pulling and stretching it in all directions as it dries
Guys I tried this with my Nike sweatpants, and it worked amazing. It worked like a charm. I didn't use baby shampoo, I used regular conditioner. I'm really happy. Reply if you have any questions, I'll answer back.
Thank you lady.
***** It probably will, but I'm not 100℅ sure.
+Christian Ramirez thanks for your great review! Really appreciate it. A friend of mine just saved her favorite wool skirt using this as well! It really is amazing. :-D
+Andrea Ivanovska, I would assume that it would. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't. :-)
jaiinecupcake Any Conditioner willl work
iooi Either will work
4:50 This should be at the beginning of the video...
Why?
It worked! I rubbed baby shampoo all over, let it sink in for a minute, rinsed it all off and while slightly damp, did my stretching exercises and holy moly - guess what? I grew five inches!!
seethroughwalls same with my willie
😺😺😺
I got all hyped and then you said it doesnt work for wool :D
+wajietaus I watched a few videos about unshrinking wool. I haven't tried it, but the video says to wash in hair conditoner. Wool is essentially hair, so it won't hurt it. Don't rinse it out. stretch back to shape. You may have to put something heavy in areas to hold the shape. If you don't get big enough the first time, try again. Good Luck!
wajietaus love how positive u are lol
@@danihu03 you understand that baby shampoo and conditioner are just about the same right? what you just said is just what she said not to do with wool. you see once wool has shrunk it gets felted. there`s nothing to do about that so please avoid handing out false tips!
I did try hair conditioner on my Marino wool sweater n it worked. Yayyyy
@@danihu03 thank for the tip :)
u r adorable Jilee , the way u said " My dear husband shrunk my shirt" is so nice.
Thank you! I shrunk the shirt I was planning to wear for family pictures the night before the pictures were scheduled. Did this as a last ditch effort, and IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Omg I was in tears!
Oh my goodness! I tried this and I didn't expect it to work but it has and it's amazing!! I love it! 😄
Thank you so much. I just got myself out of a lecture. I took a sweater from my older sister and threw it into the dryer unknowingly. This tip worked great!
This actually works. I tried it on a pair of my palazzo pants and they worked :)
I just bought a brand new beautiful Rayon blouse, My husband got to it before I had a chance to get to the laundry. He also shrunk a wool cap he bought me in Ireland. To about baby size...LOL! I love my husband and I appreciate all his hard work. Thank goodness I found your video!
OMG YOU sound like me!! My husband has shrunk so many things by trying to be sweet & doing laundry Its hard to get mad when hes being so sweet.
My expebsive linen curtain after wash has been shrinked 3 inches. I felt very upset about it. Then I washed your video. I tried your method, amazingly it saved my curtain, it went back to previous lenth ( before wash). Instead of using baby shampoo, I used conditioner. Thanks so much for your video. Fantastic!
Hey, does it work as well with any hair conditioner??
I just bought a pretty long dress which badly shrunk after washing :((
Oh my goodness when you said … “your dear husband put it to the dryer” 😂😂 so true
OMG I'm so glad u made a video out of this. I read ur blog and did the same thing but wasn't sure how to stretch my pants and in what directions. I followed ur video so let's see how well it turns out 2morrow! I can't wait! Thank u so much for making this video and for this great idea on 'how to un-shrink' clothes! Love it
Jillee, it does work for wool as well! with conditioner instead of shampoo :-)
Has anyone done this with a hoodie?
If you have a garment steamer, it works a lot easier. And, it works for wool. Jiffy garment steamer, stretch as you steam. No soap.
Okay the shirt is now dry and still shrunk. It looked bigger but when I tried it on it's the same. =(
Edit: I figured something out. Forget the water and all the hrs of waiting for your shirt to dry. Just slide your arms up your shirt into the sleeves and make a vigorous outward motion like a bird trying to flap it's wings. Rotate the shirt to do the same thing to unshrink the stomach and back. It works if you yank the neck as well. Don't go to crazy because you could rip your shirt. Not sure how that applies to other types of clothing though.
OMG THANK YOUUUUU!! I how a twenty one pilot shirt and it was expensive and it shrunk in the dryer and I tried this and it saved me!!! Thank u even tho I'm 2 year late :3

@The Media Lies Against Islam Yes but what if the width isn't the problem, but the length is the problem? How to lengthen?
You do this when its dry right?
@@renitafernandes2678 Yup.
Thanks I have a bunch of shrunken shirts and no reason to show off my man boobs. It's very uncomfortable and embarrassing too. Lol.
Saaaaaame
Just spent 150$ at champs on shirts and they all shrunk smh so damn pissed rn
A month of push ups and chin ups and you should be good to go my friend
Raghav Bhatia really?
Raghav Bhatia you realize that you saved my child hood
all of my expensive zumiez clothes shrinks and i always wanted to know a way to unshrink them thanks
same!
Got a thrasher sweater yesterday and it shrunk
Omar Chaldersingh
Youre supposed to was inside out at coldest temp and lightest/delicate cycle
liluzivert da my shirt did lol thats why im here
are you sure you weren't just getting fat? Part of the first step is admitting you are getting plumpier
Can you unshrink a polo shirt or sweater with/out a hoddie
Thank you I had 4 t-shirts on retired list but after I watched your video now I did and it works pretty good now the are back to the services
I recently bought a shirt from PacSun it was 100% percent cotton my mom ended up throwing it in the dryer and it got like 6 inches short! So I went online found her I used her method but I used conditioner. It worked ! I stretched a lot cause I wanted it bigger and it's perfect!
Will this work if the clothes have been shrunk and re-washed for a long time?
Aileeny66 only one way to find out
It did not work
@@Aileeny66 damn, took 5 years to find out 😳
I've done this for years, you can just throw the garment in the washer as usual and let it go through all the cyles, take the garment out and do the tugging.
That's what I did and i think it worked shirts not dry yet tho so I don't know
Really enjoyed your video, you are easy to watch and not annoying. You are winning at TH-cam! Subscribed!!! I look forward to not wanting to throw my phone while watching a video such as ones like this.
I just found out you can use fabric softener or hair conditioners if you don't have baby shampoo. I actually think they're better than baby shampoo. They also relax fabric..
hello i'm scott Harvey from Australia I love wearing sarongs they are woven cotton Ikat fabric from bali and it gets slightly shrunk sometimes and it upsets me because I'm slightly chubby around my waist I don't wash my sarongs in hot or warm water only cold ..after it is dry I iron it as i'm doing this I stretch it gently to I hope is back to the length of my sarong I love all my sarongs are long which I wrap as a skirt..on me can woven cotton shrink in cold water and is slightly stretching my sarong putting it back into its same length thankyou ps I wear and collect sarongs I own 162 sarongs in my collection they are from bali ...
Thank you this was a huge help
Do we have to rinse out the baby shampoo out? I read in the comments about someone asking that too, but I'm wondering if having baby shampoo in the clothing is going to do anything to it after it dries.
This worked for me. I had some gloves that shrank in the dryer, and after treating them with the baby shampoo and warm water, I was able to upsize them to around 75% normal size.
omg this worked on my pants and im so thankful i found this video
I tired this on four of my shirts,it worked fine for me.
I used the baby shampoo and lukewarm water, soaked the shirts for about 15 mins, then gently squeezed the shirt to remove the moisture, used the two towels to gently pulled the shirt as mentioned in the video.
I have one question, can I now iron them now and wear them or should I wash them again and wear them?
and one more thing is it better to give these to cleaners outside or should I hand wash them at home?
I use hair conditioner and lukewarm water for wool sweaters and linen blouses.
I tried it and found out about you after you've stretched your clothes , wait until they are nearly dry and takes on the item, you can strech it to fit your body just the way you want them to. i ledt ihe item on for drying, and it ended up perfect :)
This is a nice tip, gonna do it now
great tip may have saved my husband's life lol:)
Wool can be put in a bowl of Luke warm water with strong hair conditioner/hair mask - I’ve done it a few times. Good luck!
hopefully this works because i got a dress and forget to not put it into the dryer and the dress was like 50 dollars
All the comments “ I bought a new sweater but it shrunk ”😂😂😂😂💀
i did it with a wollen shirt and conditioner and it worked!
Thank you so much! I had just gotten a new shirt and was devastated to see it shrunk :( but this helped so much! Have a blessed day!!
Amazing ironing tips
Thank you!
It's worked ! This idea save my favourite dress thank uh soo much I didn't had baby shampoo but I used conditioner instead of baby shampoo and it's worked
it does work on wool sweaters. Did it, and it works great
I just shrunk my favorite jumpsuit😭 I’m not sure what the fabric is so idk if it will work
Can you use this method to make normal unshrunk clothing larger? 🤔
I've seen this video from others (to stretch sweatshirts, t-shirts that are too small) and this is the first time I've heard baby shampoo! Mostly it's fabric softener or hair conditioner
How long does this technique last?
What happens after the next wash?
I stay away from clothes that need dry-cleaning. Without looking at the garments material I bought a rayon shirt to find out it had to be dry cleaned. I decided to wash it in cold water and air dry it. It was an adult large and was half its original size out of the washing machine. It looked like a 2 year old, size , baby shirt. I hung it in my closet and this year(2 yrs after I shrunk it) tried it on . I am heavier than 2 yrs ago but the shirt fits. I did nothing but hang it on a hanger in my closet. It may only take a year.
I mistakenly shrunk some of my Wife's shorts by mistake and hope this works! Thank you!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wait, does this work on any material? Even jeans?
Not for wool at least, rewatch the video because she answered that
Great tip.thanks for sharing. Buy wouldn't you have to wash it again to get the shampoo out?
I buy a lot of shirts from goodwill and they're all medium sized but very shrunk. I'll do this thank you!!!
Could it work on dresses?👗
P.s could it work on a item that gas not shrunk but wanna make it longer/bigger?😩😥
I accidentally washed a rayon dress. As soon as I took it out of the washer, it was completely wrinkled, so I took out the excess water and then ironed it to "smooth" and "stretch" it out. Have I wrecked it, seeing as I ironed it when it was still damp? In other words, did ironing "set the fabric" so that it can no longer be stretched? This is a rayon dress that does need "ironing" because it is a silky kind of rayon. I can wait until it's dry to iron again but I will have to iron it.
Thank you soo much, I had a shirt that I loved and I got 2 weeks ago and it’s my most favorite out of all and I didn’t see it while putting it into the Dryer and it shrunk, I quickly looked up how and I saw your video, it’s drying rn and I’ll comment to see if it worked!!
Ch3WBie Show did it work?
imFroXen , No, the next day when I went to try it on it was a bit bigger but not a lot,
My dad shrunk his medium moncler polo, said i'd take it no problem ^.^
I wore my new favorite silk blouse (only one time) on Thanksgiving. It has been in the hamper with light colored clothes waiting to be washed since then. (I wash silk in my front load washer, but never dry) Well, since it has been so long, I forgot it was in there and I washed and dried it. Do you think this will work for silk? Thanks for your tip!
my FIVE HUNDRED dollar Off---White hoodie C/O Virgil Abloh was shrunken EVEN THOUGH I never used the damn dryer! SO, I used hair conditioner and it absolutely opened it up.
Campbell Gildersleeve I'm trying this method out rn with my vlone x Nike collab tee 😂
ashton Robinson best of luck fam this shits annoying. The hair conditioner will take some dye out of it so be conservative
Campbell Gildersleeve yea I know I just tried two days ago and this method barely worked so I'm trying again and I tried stretching it out better so hopefully it works and yea I was mad it took some of the dye out
This just happened to my anti social social club hoodie and I’m fucken pissed as hell
Campbell Gildersleeve lol just happened to my supreme bogo hoodie
Does it have to be baby shampoo!?
+Logan B conditioner will also work
can i use baby body gel instead
Can I use head and shoulders?
Wool can be stretched. I have done it for 2 wool sweaters and they are fine.
Nice one! Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go. Usually I give my shrunken jumpers to the charity shop for folk who're smaller than I. ;-)
Did it on my vineyard vines sweater and it worked like a charm
When do you rinse the garment to get rid of the soap?
Does it have to be baby shampoo? Also, thank you for the video!
Thank you so much! It really works ❤️❤️
It helped me a lot❤️
Can you put the shampoo in your washing machine in the conditioner compartment, that way you can un shrink your clothes instead of using a bowl . And you can do more than one item . What ya think Mrs
Any hair conditioner works as well. If no baby shampoo on hand.
I've got a cotton jumper that's a little bit short and I'd like it to be a bit longer, is it possible to stretch it vertically following this method so that it does that??
Joel Meaney yeah
WaffleGalaxy15 are you 100% sure it works? its a Stone Island jumper made from 100% cotton, and i dont particularily want to try it and ruin it
Joel Meaney did it work??
Zain Bashir yes, didn't make a massive difference but it did stretch it back out a bit
What if you have chlothes that have become to small on you could you make them bigger
I accidentally struck two of my favourite shirts and I can’t wait to try this
Great video. Thx. Will this work on my new fave rayon dress? It shrunk in cold water in the washer! By one size for sure. I didn't dry it.
What if you add a little bit of baby shampoo to the wash cycle and wash it on cold and put it in the dryer on the lowest setting? I wonder if that might fix the issue
YOU SAVED MY FAVROITE PANTS TYSMMMMM
Oh! great! you saved my pants！
Thanks so much!
It actually does work for wool clothing
I wanna see a tutorial using voodoo magic
Just a question: I have a kimono jacket that is 55% rayon and 45% silk, and I have a matching top that goes with it which is 57% rayon and 43% silk. They feel just alike, but the tag in the blouse says "Dry Clean Only, HOWEVER the tag in the jacket says, "wash in cold water, separately, gentle cycle, then line-dry, can also be dry-cleaned. SO I decided to wash it as the instructions said in the machine.... however, I noticed it seems like now the sides don't hang down as far, but it's not a huge difference so I dunno if it shrunk or just my perception, PLUS I followed the direction on the tag, but should I have dry cleaned it just o be safe? AND will this process work on rayon?
Great! I’m going to try this. Can I use Castile Liquid Soap if I don’t have baby shampoo?
My mom shrinks all my clothes all the time ;/
Same idk how to tell her lol
wouldn’t it shrink again when you wash it
Very good tip...Thank you.
Does this work on 100% polyester?
Thanks Jillie!!!!
When I shrink my t-shirts, I just hang them to dry, instead of drying them, and they stretch out all by themselves. Maybe it depends on the fabric??
oh gosh thank god i found this :3
i needed to un-shrink my cute pajamas for a sleep over
WELP *i'm saved.*
It works! I had a pair of pants that shrunk a bit at the dry cleaners, and thought that’s it. I followed your video to a T yesterday, and today the pants fit fine again! I’m s happy camper lol. Thankyou.
I have a couple dress shirts for work that I can't really button the top button (makes it too tight)... would it work to try and stretch that out with this? The rest of the shirt fits fine
good idea but it would have been good if you measured a before and after leg to show how much it came back by.
I know this is a dumb question but can I put it back in the dryer or no. Like after I wash it again?
David Potter Sure you can! Just make sure not to over-dry, or you'll be back where you started! :-)
that was a dumb ass question
Let me guess your Young And Reckless shirt shrunk?
+Edward Smith hahhahahhahahhahah
+Edward Smith LMAO!
