We've all been there, right? You finally find the perfect shirt and then BAM, it shrinks in the dryer. Don't worry, you're not alone in this laundry struggle. But have no fear, we've got some tips to keep your clothes from shrinking down to doll size

At Launderme laundromat, we understand the frustration of shrinking clothes. To prevent this problem in the future, we've put together some tips from expert laundry professionals.

Common causes of shrinking include agitation and high-temperature washing and drying. Fabrics like cotton, linen, and wool can shrink when washed vigorously or exposed to high heat.

To prevent shrinking, follow these steps:

1. Check the fabric care label before purchase and before washing. Make sure to read the laundry instructions carefully and pay attention to the fabric type, water temperature, and drying instructions. At Launderme laundromat, we recommend washing clothes in cold and gentle cycles and drying them on low heat.
2. Use cold water and proper wash cycles. Soaking clothes in cold water and avoiding heavy-duty cycles and high heat can help keep their size intact. For delicate clothes, we recommend using a mesh laundry bag to protect them during washing.
3. Set tumble dry or air dry settings. Drying clothes in a tumble-dry or air-dry mode can prevent shrinkage by reducing fabric fibre wear. Be sure to check the care label for optimal temperature and dry cleaning settings.

In addition, we recommend using the appropriate amount of detergent for your load and sorting clothes by colour to prevent dye bleeding. And for clothes that need extra care, bring them to Launderme laundromat, where our experienced staff will take steps to ensure they stay in good condition for a long time.
