100 Cotton Clothing

i have 99% cotton jeans that are brand new and never been washed..how do i keep them from shrinking? and i also have new cotton shirts (some say they're pre-shrunk and some don't say it)..how can i also keep those from shrinking in the wash?

Wash in cold, and line dry. (or lay flat)

That is the only way.


(you can purchase a drying rack at bed-bath and beyond for around $20.00)

My daughter decided to write with a ball point pen on her new white capris. Any suggestions to get it out?

my mon would spray it with hairspray and then wash it
my grandma insists on washing it seperately and adding 1 can of coke, not pepsi when you wash it
crazy but I've seen it work

I usually wash in a warm cold cycle then just dry them on normal setting

Wash in cold water, air dry on a clothes line, hanger, or lay the item flat. Good Luck

Hi i will be washing my clothes ONCE on a two week study trip.

The clothes I want to bring are new, mostly 100% cotton, and most importantly, hanging them to dry after wash is not an option. (i will not be doing the washing personally and they will be transferred directly to the dryer after machine wash)

I still have roughly 2 weeks to figure out a way to PREVENT MY CLOTHES FROM SHRINKING.

help please?

I suggest that you wash your clothes yourself while you're in the shower. Take a couple of items with you and wet them down then use a bar of ivory soap to clean them then rinse the soap away. Fold and roll the clothes to get as much water out as possible and then hang the clothes to dry in the shower (unless you're sharing the bathroom) or in your room.

Most cotton clothing has been preshrunk so be sure that you check your labels to make sure that you're not worrying over nothing. I'd use the above method for items that I was really worried about but otherwise your clothes will probably be fine.

I have a hard time finding polyester/cotton clothes, so my only option is the 100% cotton stuff. The thing is that after throwing it in the washer and dryer the 100% cotton clothes come out looking like they've been worn for years!

what can I do for the clothes to retain their colors and look like new?

try putting a cup of vinegar in with a full load...it will make the clothes softer and the colors won't run...and oh yeah, make sure you wash it on cold
