Have you ever wished you could unshrink a wool sweater that got ruined in the wash? Now you can by hand washing it in a liquid solution called, Unshrinkit.
Unskrinkit was invented by Harvard Business School graduate, Desiree Stolar. She teamed up with a chemical engineer and fellow graduates to develop a product that interacts with shrunken, bunched up wool, cashmere or angora yarns, straightening and lengthening the clumps of yarn back to their original size.
It's safe, fast and easy. You pour a bottle of unshrinkit into a a tub, add water and your shrunken sweater. Soak it in the solution for 30 minutes. Raise, stretch and lay flat to dry. Voilà ... back to its original size!
The Unshrinkit restorer works on fabric that is at least 10% wool. Wow, like a miracle!
Wow, this is the best invention. We have lost a few good woollen garments over the years, in hotel laundries etc. Hope it appears in Australia soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree and hope you can get it soon, Trish! Meanwhile, another reason to visit here!
DeleteWhat a great product! Now, if they come up with something for the opposite problem, i.e., hanging sweaters that stretch out of shape, I'll be totally happy. I know, I know, you're not supposed to hang sweaters, but I've been known to hang sweaters that wrinkle when folded.
ReplyDeleteYou do find the most interesting things, Debra.
Cheers, M-T
Thanks, M-T! I try to feature interesting and useful items when I find them. BTW, I hang my sweaters to dry too ... on a hanger, neatly over the bathtub. I plead it's due to a lack of space.
