<human>:  How do I wash a shirt without shrinking it?
<bot>: To wash a shirt without shrinking it, start by reading the care label and selecting the appropriate wash cycle. If it doesn’t specify, use a gentle cycle and cold water. Be sure to use a mild detergent, and in the event of any stains, pre-treat them before adding the shirt to the washing machine. Once the cycle is complete, hang the shirt up to dry rather than putting it into the dryer. This will help ensure that your shirt won't shrink.
