Why Clothes Shrink In The Dryer

Have you ever pulled your favorite sweater out of the dryer only to find that it's suddenly a size smaller? The frustration of clothes shrinking in the dryer is a common experience for many of us. But why does this happen, and what can you do to prevent it?

The Science of Shrinkage

Clothes shrink in the dryer due to a combination of heat, moisture, and agitation. Most fabrics, especially natural fibers like cotton and wool, are prone to shrinking when exposed to high temperatures and moisture. During the drying process, the heat causes the fibers to contract and tighten, resulting in a reduction in size. Additionally, the tumbling action of the dryer can exacerbate this process by further compressing the fabric.
