How to wash clothes so they don't stretch easily.
So that clothes don't stretch easily when washed, you can follow the following steps.
1. Separate clothes.
Separate clothes by color and type of material. Wash clothes of the same color and similar materials together to avoid friction that can cause stretching.
2. Use cold water.
Use cold or lukewarm water to wash clothes. Hot water can make clothing fibers more susceptible to stretching.
3. Use a gentle detergent.
Choose a detergent that is gentle and does not contain harsh ingredients that can damage clothing fibers. Avoid using too much detergent.
4. Avoid washing too hard.
Avoid washing clothes too vigorously, especially when rubbing or wringing clothes. This can damage the fibers and cause them to stretch.

Choose a gentle wash cycle or one specifically for sensitive clothes so that they are not exposed to too much friction.
6. Don't leave it in the dryer for too long.

7. Don't brush your clothes too often.
Avoid brushing clothes too often, especially clothes made from materials that are prone to stretching, such as wool or silk.

Store clothes properly after washing. Don't hang clothes for too long or in a place that is too hot, as this can cause the fabric to stretch.
