However, if the laundry shops lack experience and have no deep understanding of the stains, laundry accidents easily happen, which can affect the word-of-mouth. Below are five common laundry accidents that are common in laundry shops.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shrinkage of the Garments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The shrinkage of clothes often happens in clothes with different fabrics. These types of clothes should usually be dry-cleaned. If people want to do water cleaning, the fabrics will shrink. The main reason for shrinkage is that the surface of the protein fibers is in the form of phosphorus flakes. With the friction and moisturizing function, the phosphorus flake fibers interlock with each other, resulting in a reduced overall area of the fiber fabric after washing. In addition, people can choose wet cleaning. By using professional wet cleaning machines and wet cleaning detergents, people can safely wash the wool or woolen-blended clothes.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4463 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2.jpg\" alt=\"how to deal with shrinkage of the garments\" width=\"993\" height=\"1176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2.jpg 993w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2-865x1024.jpg 865w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2-768x910.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/\u56fe\u72471-2-600x711.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><b>Methods for Restoration<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Turn the fabric over and use the steam ironer to iron the other side of the fabric, then the fabric will return to its original place.<\/p>\n<p>Whitening and Blotchy Discoloration Caused by Improper Washing or Stain Removal<\/p>\n<p>Despite the white clothes, the clothes of other colors easily have dye bleeding because the colorfastness of the fabrics is poor, or people choose the wrong detergents, and other reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><b>The <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>t<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>reatment of blotchy discoloration<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People should not soak the clothes for a long time.

During the washing process, if there is already color in the water, people can add some detergents that are made for color fixation. During the dehydration, the lining should be placed facing outward. Then, the clothes should be evenly distributed and spun dry at a low speed.

In this way, however, the problem will recur or even be more severe. If people want to completely fix it, they can use a medical syringe to inject viscous resin into the bubbled areas, then heat and press them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If the area is large, you can take the\u00a0clothes to a tailor shop and have the lining replaced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Unfortunately,\u00a0if a down jacket has large-area bubbling, there will be no effective solution.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fabric Shining Accident Caused by Ironing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fabric shining mainly occurs on single-faced gabardine fabrics in blue, black, or coffee brown.

If conditions permit, soaking the garment in acetic acid water for 1\u00a0to 2 hours can also help alleviate the shine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Above are the five laundry accidents in the laundry shops.
