No. It may soften the cork but if anything hot water will make the cork expand.
Most materials shrink in cold weather and expand in hot weather because the molecules slow down when cold The most notable exception, of course, is water, which expands as it freezes.
Hot water will dissolve soap faster because it is more hot so that means it will melt is and also evaporate with the water.
It doesn't shrink, it melts. But when it is too hot, and no cold comes back. It melts.. just like ice.
the more salt you add the more difficult it would be for the plant to get water.
You can shrink leather by putting it in boiling water for about 10... leather gloves stretch a lot
When wet? Probably not exclusively from water. However, water and HEAT can absolutely shrink a leather belt, sometimes by several inches! If you were to wash your belt or otherwise get is sopping wet, and then leave it in the hot direct sun or throw it in a dryer, it may very well shrink.
Use a leather cream/cleaner on it. Wetting the leather may make it shrink and ruin it.
Try soaking it in warm water and letting it dry!!
if it is real leather, wet it
In hot water, yes :)
yes...but barley it depends on what you shrink and for how long and also how much % of it is cotton....but it should shrink
You go to the bathroom and run on the hot water faucet.
wash in hot water and dry in hot water :)
no, its the dryer that shrinks them
it depends on the materiel
