How to control fabric shrinkage . Shrinkage is the process in which a fabric becomes smaller than its original size, usually though the process of laundry. . Causes . For wool garments, shrinkage is due to scales on the fibers which heat, water and agitation cause to stick together. . Other fabrics are stretched by mechanical forces during production, and can shrink slightly when heated (though to a lesser degree than wool). .Some clothes are “pre-shrunk” to avoid this problem. .Pre- Shrinking . Pre-shirking is needed almost on all fabrics because most textile materials shrink when washed. However preshrinking can only reduce the residual shrinkage to a lower percentage, but cannot completely eliminate it.

Fabric Cleaning . Dry cleaning . Dry cleaning is generally only used for only used for oil stains. As it is a very stressful process of the textile. Commercial dry cleaners should never be used, as the chemicals used in the process are too strong for old fabrics to consult a professional conservator. . Steaming and ironing . Steaming and ironing textiles should be done with caution as the heat may affect the viability of the fibers, More importantly.
