Can Borax shrink clothes?
Borax is a great laundry additive. It helps boost the cleaning power of any detergent. If your husband is worried about it being poison, tell him not to eat it. It actually helps save your fabrics. Even the low concentrations of chlorine bleach encountered in domestic water supplies can, over many washes, cause significant fading of colored fabrics and actually damage fabrics. Borax can neutralize that problem. This site has tons of information about borax, it’s properties, bleaching effects, sanitization & more. Check it out. http://www.borax.com/detergents/laundryc… If you washed & dried the clothes exactly the same way, either the fridg caused his pants to shrink, or the thermostat in your dryer is letting it get a little warmer. Keep an eye on this possibility. My Mom had some clothes shrink significantly because of this. I mean knit fabrics shrinking to the size for an eight year old. It was actually fun
