I have a cotton polo shirt. However is a bit big for me but a size lower is way too tight. Can I shrink it a little by using the dryer?

Yes, you can shrink cotton by putting it in the dryer.

Materials you'll need:

  • Cotton polo shirt
  • Dryer
  • Measuring tape (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Wash the polo shirt in hot water using your washing machine's hottest setting.
  2. Dry the polo shirt in the dryer on the highest heat setting.
  3. Check the polo shirt periodically to see if it has shrunk to the desired size.
  4. If the polo shirt has not shrunk enough, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Tips:

  • If you are unsure of how much the polo shirt will shrink, it is best to err on the side of caution and dry it on a lower heat setting.
  • You can also use a measuring tape to track the polo shirt's progress as it shrinks.
