How to hang up wet shirts without the neck stretching out?

Question

I hang up my daughters clothes so they don't shrink or fade too much. However the neck seems to stretch out from the weight of the water I suppose. And then you can see the undergarments. Any help would be great, thanks

Answer 1

Your dryer has a delicate cycle. Choose this and "no heat" or "low heat" and the clothes should be just fine. Then hang them once they are dry.

Answer 2

Hang them upside down the old fashioned way! Like they use to when clothes were line dried. You can even do this, inside using your shower curtain rod. Put your garment in the dryer for a few minutes to get most of the water out. Then get some clothes pins and a hanger and hang the garment upside down.
As far as the neck streteching out. Let the garment completely dry. The re-wet the neck and dry it in the dryer To shrink it back in place.

When you have shrunk one of your favorite shirts and it is too small. Take it outside put it on a PLASTIC hanger and use the pressure from the water hose to pull the fibers back out.
I have some big boys, their clothes shrink all the time. So, I take them outside and use the hose to make them bigger again then I let them line dry.

Hang them in half on a hanger or a collabsible clothing rack. If you hang them by clips from the bottom hem, her shirts will stretch out of shape from the weight and they'll be left with a bell shape. If you hang them from the collar, then the collar will stretch out. You can lay them flat, but if there are a lot of shirts then you'll need a lot of sweater racks (these are flat, 2" diameter and about 6" from the ground so you can fit 2 shirts on them.

You can put them in the dryer, just put them on the lowest heat and only for 20 mins, they won't fade or shrink that much. If they're still damp, hang them in half on a hanger.

Put the clothes through the spin cycle a second time to ensure that all of the water that can be extracted by the machine is out of there.

If you have a clothes line, drape them over the line (the same way you would use a towel rack). You could also hang them up like that over the edge of the tub or over the top of the shower curtain.

Answer 5

The best way to keep the neckline from stretching out is to hang the shirts upside down letting the neckline hang from the bottom secure the hem of the shirts with clothes pins on the hanger good luck &merry x-mas!!!!

Answer 6

Dry them more before hanging them up so that the water isn't pulling on the neckline. Wrap the article in a terry towel and then roll it into a cylinder. Then jump on the cylinder to remove more water. Unroll cylinder; give clothing item a couple of shakes and hang to dry. Sounds crazy but it works.

Answer 7

If you are going to hang them up wet, invest in some hangers that have clips on the bottom or use clothespins to hang them upside down. If you mean that you're putting them on a clothesline, it's the same concept: just hang them up by the shirttail. Hope this helps.

Hang them up on a clothing line and let it in airdry in the sun that way it won't get wrinkly and it will dry fast .Hopefully its not winter time there if it is you can take a hanger and put the pant leg through it and hang it up on a door and let it dry and that way it should not get wrinkly.
