Learn what causes the necklace to the T-shirt extend, how to prevent it and however, however, damage.

Why the T-Shirt collars stretch

The ribbed fabric around the T-shirt neckline is there to provide an additional move while pulling the shirt over your head. It also protects knitted cotton, bamboo or synthetic fabrics from spoiling. The research happens after wearing a shirt too many times, a hanging shirt, and not folding it and aggressively washing and drying with great heat.

How to fix the stretched T-shirt collar

Although it can seem impossible, there are some steps that you can take to hope to hope to pull the necklace for the outstretched shirt from the dead.

Use hot water

Fill a sink or a vessel with hot water. Submerge only neckline in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Slightly squeeze excess water (without writing!) To avoid additional stretching. Lay your T-shirt on a towel, reshape the neck rolls with your hands and allow to dry the apartment.

Use the steamer of clothing

Hang a T-shirt and a direct steam from the manual couples of the clothes on the collar about 5 minutes. Hold the steamer about 6 inches from the fabric to prevent overheating. Gently remove the shirt from the hanger and lay it straight to the towel. Renew the neckclos with your hands and allow the fabric to dry.

Use hair dryer

With a shirt that lies straight on a towel, gently moisten the collar with a water spray bottle. Set the hair dryer on medium heat and keep it about 6 inches from the fabric, slightly reshape the collar with your hands and dry it with hair dryer.

Add a new collar or reinforce elastic

If you have skills with a sewing machine, you can remove stretched collars and replace it. The ribbed binding is sold in fabric stores in several colors. You can also measure the décolletes and cut the clothes bar elastic to fit inside the neckline.

T-shirt care tips

• If you hang the shirt, use a firm shoulder support hanger to prevent the décolletes from stretching. Start the hanger hook in the bottom shirt instead of stretching the neck over the hangers.
• When folding the T-shirt, fold the pages inward, then fold in half of the bottom so that the décollette remains intact.
• Do not pull excessively on the neckline when placing or taking off the shirt. Withdrawal too hard on the neckline, weak fabric and stabbing and stretching speeds.
• Sort your laundry properly and use cold water and a gentle cycle to keep your shirt longer.
• Air dry shirts or avoid high temperatures in the automatic dryer.
