Can the cardigan be restored if it shrinks?
1. Steam iron, heat the shrinkable sweater fibers with a steam iron, and then use both hands to lengthen the fibers while it is hot. You can apply a white cloth, spray water, and iron it in the medium temperature. The water temperature is best to be around 35 degrees. When washing, you should squeeze it gently with your hands. Do not rub, knead, or cow with your hands and do not use a washing machine to wash it. You must use neutral detergent. When using it, the ratio of water to detergent is generally 100:3. When rinsing, add cold water slowly to make the water temperature gradually drop to room temperature, and then rinse it clean. After washing, first press with your hands to press the moisture out, then wrap it with a dry cloth to press it. You can also use a centrifugal dehydrator. Be careful to wrap the wool sweater in cloth before putting it in the dehydrator; it cannot be dehydrated for too long, it can only be dehydrated for 2 minutes at most. After washing and dehydration, the wool sweater should be placed in a ventilated place to dry, and do not hang or expose it to the sun to avoid deforming the wool sweater.
2. When you send it to a dry cleaner, just take the clothes to the dry cleaner, dry clean first, then find a special rack of the same model as the clothes, hang the sweater, and after high-temperature steam treatment, the clothes can be restored to their original appearance, and the price is the same as dry cleaning.
3. Thick cardboard, cut it into the size and shape of the original sweater. It is best to polish the cutters with sandpaper to avoid catching the sweater. Put the sweater on cardboard, use a few more clothespins to fix it on the lower foot, and then use an electric iron to steam and iron each part of the sweater repeatedly, and then remove it after it has cooled completely.
