Check the labels — Pay special attention to the manufacturer’s washing and drying instructions, such as hand washing, dry cleaning, and line drying.
2. Use the right water temperature — Hot water can relax the tension in fibers, causing them to shrink. Cotton and wool fabrics should be washed in cold water in general.
3. Avoid over-drying — Some clothes can be dried on low heat, while others should be air dried to keep their size and shape.
