If it really is 100% cotton, wash it in hot water and then tumble dry with high heat until it's completely dry. This will shrink it a few %, maybe not 2 - 4 sizes.
This will also cause the cloth to wrinkle and you will have to iron it to get it smooth again.
If it's polyester, it won't shrink.

Wash (and rinse) it in the hottest water available, then put it in the dryer at the hottest setting. That should do it!
BTW, polyester won't shrink!

Wash hot and then put in the dryer on the highest setting. If it has a transfer on it, you'll crack it by drying it in the dryer though.

Try washing it in hot water and then dry on a cotton cycle. Good luck.
