I washed my favourite jumper but accidentally shrunk it instead – then a ‘hack’ to restore it made it even worse
A MAN has revealed the hilarious state his jumper ended up in, after he tried to wash it.
Jordan Forsyth was left in a pickle after his favourite jumper shrunk drastically when he put it in the wash.
The Scott then tried out a “hack” to get it back to normal again, but the sweater turned out even worse.
Taking to TikTok, Jordan (@jordanforsyth9) shared that he had been trying to be a bit more “domesticated” and do his own household tasks instead of leaving it to the cleaner.
He bunged his blue Hugo Boss jumper into the washing machine and after the load was finished, was left dismayed.
In a fit of laughter, Jordan showed the jumper to the camera, holding it up against his body, to show that it had shrunk to a fraction of the size.
“It’s f***ing wee now innit!” he joked.
Replying to Jordan’s video one person suggested a hack to get it back to normal again.
They said: “If you put bleach on it and then put it on a hot wash it will be back to normal”.
Jordan poured some bleach into his washing machine and then turned the temperature up to as high as it would go – 90 degrees.
Realising Jordan’s mistake, people flooded the comments section of his video.
One person said: “It going to end up the size of a stamp”.
Another person said: “You never put bleach on a hot jumper, and never put it on a hot wash!”
In another video, Jordan shared the results of his experiment.
Taking the jumper out of the machine, he revealed that it had shrunk even smaller.
How can you get your washing dry when it's raining outside?
DEALING with the British weather isn't ideal when it comes to trying to get clothes dry outside. But fear not, if it's raining then there are a few hacks you can try to get your laundry dry inside the house.
Curtain poles
If you put your clothes on hangers to dry, you can then hang the clothes from a curtain pole. This is an effective hack, but it’s important to make sure you’ve got a window open too, to promote ventilation and avoid a build up of mould.
Airers
There are a whole host of airers on the market, but the popularity of heated airers have risen dramatically in recent months. Many people swear by using a heated airer to get clothes dry quickly and evenly, without racking up loads on the energy bill by using a tumble dryer.
Dehumidifiers
While the main point of a dehumidifier is, as the name suggests, to reduce humidity in the room, they also work a treat to get clothes dry. In fact, many of the little machines have a laundry setting on them. And once again, using a dehumidifier won’t break the bank either, as they’re very energy efficient.
Radiator cocoon
If you’ve got your heating on, then creating a cocoon with a fitted sheet and your radiator can be a game changer. Simply place one end of the fitted sheet over the radiator, and place the other end so it’s entirely engulfing the airer. This will dry your clothes quicker, by keeping the hot air inside the cocoon, rather than letting it all escape.
Spin it
The majority of washing machine cycles end with a spin, but you can always give your laundry an extra spin before taking it out, to remove as much moisture as possible before you hang it up. It’s a hack that loads of people swear by when it comes to drying clothes inside.
“It feels like a sponge!”, he said.
“Look at the size of it!”
Jordan held the arm of the jumper up to his own arm, and it didn’t even come to the elbow.
“This used to be a nice jumper!”, he said.
After many pleas from social media users, Jordan posted another video of himself, this time trying to fit the minuscule jumper on.
“It’s probably not even going to fit over my massive head”, he said.
Struggling, Jordan pulled the jumper on to his head, and managed to get one arm into a sleeve.
“That’s about it” he said.
Attempting to force the jumper back over his head he said: “I canne get it off!”
“That’s never going on again”.
