Want this question answered?
gao shirts shrink more becasue they are 100% cotton and do not have the shrink resistance in some of their clothes
Anything with cotton in it will shrink some if it has not been preshrunk. The amount it will shrink depends on the percentage of cotton in the material. The more polyester the material has the less it will shrink.
if its Cotton then just wash it
Yes. However, many 100% cotton t-shirts sold in stores are pre-shrunk. Check before buying.
It depends on how they are processed. Regular (conventional) cotton t-shirts are washed with formaldehyde which affects shrinkage. For organic cotton tees, some do, some don't. I know that we pre-shrink ours only using hot water.
No the cotton will not shrink in your dryer
about 5 to 10 percent on the average,more so in length than the width!!
Pima cotton will shrink as much as other cottons. Many cotton tops are prewashed for softeness, which should pre shrink them. If not preshrunk and 95-100% cotton, typically pants can shrink up to an inch in length.
cotton shrinks in the dryer because of its fibers. cotton will shrink the most the first time you wash it.
Wash them in warm/hot water and put in the dryer. Remember that all shirts won't shrink - it all depends on the fabric as well as whether they were pre-shrunk. Even if they were pre-shrunk most shirts shrink a little bit.
cotton? LOL
Yes, combed cotton will shrink slightly if you wash it in warm water and dry all the way through.
