Help Clothes Keep Their Shape

September 19, 2006

I'm very intrigued by this new detergent called Cheer True Fit, which claims to help your clothes keep their shape. Having had to say goodbye to a fair share of overstretched jeans and misshapen t-shirts, I definitely see a high demand for this product. According to the Cheer web site, the detergent works using a friction-reducing lubricant, so that the fibers of your clothes glide against each other during washing. (As an added bonus, the new brand is also holding a sweepstakes to win a New York shopping spree.)

I plan to try this stuff just as soon as I finish my current jug of detergent, but if anyone has tried it, tell me what you think.

Jennifer, that happens to me too. I only wear 100% cotton jeans, so they eventually stretch out and I have to shrink them up again!

pollypo - I've heard that, too. But, I *have* to dry my jeans every couple of washes or they start to be too big. Does that not happen to other people?

I read that you should always wash jeans on cold and air dry them - just dry them for a few minutes at the end to soften them up. Hot water and the heat of the dryer ruins the fabrics that give the jeans stretch. A bonus is that they don't shrink up and lose length so you end up with high waters.

Huh, sounds interesting! I hate *having* to dry things to shrink them down. I'd love to hang dry more things!
