The exact temperature that makes the garment at-risk for shrinkage depends on what material it is made of. Check your garment’s care label for specific details on the maximum temperature. Avoid letting the garments soak in the washing machine for longer than the cycle, as this can damage the fabric’s protective finish.
Liquid detergent is ideal for washing flame resistant clothing. Avoid starch and fabric softeners as well, as both can mask your garment’s protection.
Check the garment’s label to determine the hottest recommended water temperature.
