100 % cotton
Is every piece of clothing that is made out of only cotton going to shrink?
IS there any way to prevent this from happening, and does it matter if the water is hot or cold? I have a pair of shorts that's 100 % cotton, and I want to have minimal shrinking when I wash them, so what should I do?
Thanks

Wash in cold water. clothes shrink in hot. and when drying them dont let them dry completely let them to get where they are damp and then hang them up to dry. =)

It only matters when you're drying the clothes if their 100% cotton. If you don't want your shorts to shrink, instead of putting them in the dryer, hang them outside or hang them in your laundry room to dry. They won't shrink then.

Some clothing has been shrunk before you purchase it. But if it hasn't been, then yes it'll most likely shrink during the first wash. You should wash whites in warm water & let it dry by air. Basically, my advice is to avoid putting anything in the dryer if you don't want it to shrink.
