I was highly sceptical that it would work - but it did indeed return my wool sweater to it's original shape and size. Very happy - and for 20 quid I saved a sweater worth ten times that.

Didn't do anything to my shrunk cashmere joggers. They stayed shrunk.

I have an expensive cashmere sweater that randomly shrunk in the same wash cycle I wash all my other cashmere sweaters on. I decided to give Unshrinkit a chance after watching their pitch on Shark Tank.I followed the instructions exactly. When the 30 minutes of soak time ended, the entire house stunk of strong chemical smell. The sweater smelled even worse. I gently stretched the sweater back out to its original size and let it dry. Folks, it shrunk right back to its new size. It did not work whatsoever. I’ve also now washed it on the gentle cycle twice and it still stinks of chemical smell.Complete waste of money.

I had a beautiful merino wool sweater that I accidentally put through a load of cold water laundry and it shrunk. I purchased this very expensive product ($80+CAD with tax and shipping) in the hopes of restoring my sweater. I gained absolutely no stretch in the sweater. I would recommend you NOT purchase this product for a merino wool sweater.

Product works. But it’s a lot of work- had to keep stretching it out during the drying process otherwise it just shrinks back.. used clothes pegs and hair clips and must have restreched the sweaters about 6-8 times during drying.

This product is amazing. Years ago I purchased an expensive, beautiful, heavy hand knit woolen sweater for skiing, only to have it end up in the washer and dryer with other laundry (not pointing any fingers, dear husband!!). Needless to say, it was too small to wear and the softness had gone from the wool. I had worn it only once and was not too happy. As we all do, for whatever reasons, I saved the sweater for years. Then on the TV show Chronicle, I saw the clip about new products and Unshrinkit. I immediately ordered a bottle. I followed the directions, soaking the sweater in the solution exactly as directed. Because of the thickness of the sweater and it being winter, I dried it in the house on top of heavy towels, turning the sweater frequently, and replacing wet towels with dry towels. The sweater is like new! Soft, back to the original size, and beautiful once again. Needless to say, I was shocked as I did not expect this result! For my sweater, this product was amazing, and I am very happy with the product's quality and effectiveness. Before tossing out that much loved piece of woolen clothing, give this a try! I'm glad I did.

I was skeptical after reading mixed reviews, but thought I had nothing to loose, as the sweaters were going to goodwill if I didn't try! I used the product on three merino wool sweaters. I tried on the sweaters before to evaluate how much "stretching" would be necessary, about 1 inch at the neck, shoulders, and width. I filled the kitchen sink with the recommended water per instructions, and put in the three sweaters. The bottle says up to four sweaters, but one of my sweaters was pretty thick and absorbed a lot of water, so for me, no more than 3 sweaters. I soaked for 30 minutes as instructed, but revisited the sink to poke and make sure all areas were "wet". When I poured the product into the sink, there is a nice fresh scent, but as the sweaters absorbed the liquid, there was a slight smell of the "old Perm" days, but very faint, as I was intentionally looking to see if there was a scent, otherwise, I probably would not have noticed. Then I rinsed and set out to dry as instructed. Here is the key, you really really have to stretch the sweaters for it to work, because once it is dry, that is the size you get, so STRETCH to the size you want, as I stated earlier, I did stretch until I had about 1 inch everywhere. My only problem was when you stretch the shoulders, then the bottom creeps up, and then visa versa. I kept visiting the sweaters during the drying process and continued to stretch. Two of my sweaters turned out perfect, the third really thick sweater was a bit more challenging, being hard to stretch the arms, they dried a bit tight. You can tell as you stretch your sweaters, which will perform well with the product, because they are easier to stretch. There was no smell while drying the sweaters outside, but the third sweater did take longer to dry, so I had to bring inside, and then I did notice the smell while drying in the house, but once dry, no more smell, and I have worn them since, and my body temp did not bring out any additional odorl either. I would buy this product again in a heart beat, worth trying than giving some of my fav sweaters away. My only question is.. Once used, will the sweater never shrink again? so safe to hand wash again....?

Ok folks, straight up review: I washed 3 wool sweaters in this "UnShrinkIt" solution, and at first I thought we had something here. All three sweaters had been shrunk... got tossed into the dryer with my other clothes by my wife or one of the kids (terrible, right?).After soaking them in the "UnShrinkIt" solution and literally hours of wringing, pulling, and stretching (Cabela's outdoor sweaters), they looked much bigger. I honestly think they could have just been soaked in water alone and they would have looked the same, since I worked so hard to stretch them out. My fingers and hands were sore. The sweaters were laid out to dry over the next 3 days, but the chemical smell was nasty. I tried them all on, and they did fit again. Victory! Or so I thought....Well, you can't wear them smelling like that nasty chemical smell. So naturally, I washed them like I had done many, many times before.... in the washing machine! (strange right?) Then I laid them out to dry again, for another 3 days or so. Well that was that. They completely SHRUNK up again!!! Right back to where they were before I spent all this time and energy soaking, wringing, stretching, pulling. WASTE OF MY TIME!!!I gave the sweaters to my son. He's wearing my XL Tall sweaters at 14.... but they are really about a Medium now. I felt this was a waste of my time and money. I really wanted it to work, but straight up- it just didn't.
