1. Fill a tub or a sink with water that is lukewarm and a capful of baby shampoo.
2. Soak the item in the tub/sink and then gently work it through the soapy water to relax the fibers.
3. Remove the item from the water and very gently squeeze out the excess water, but do not rinse the item!
4. Lay the item flat on an oversized beach or bath towel.
5. Now roll the towel and the item up together as one. This absorbs the extra moisture in the item.
6. Get a second oversized towel and put the item out on that dry towel.
7. As the item is drying, gently stretch it.
8. Continue stretching the item as it dries on the towel until it returns to its original size.
