Check the care label for specific washing temperature. If washed in too hot water, try gently stretching the fabric while damp. Avoid high heat in future washes and drying.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using the correct detergent and washing cycle. A fabric softener can help restore softness, but always check the garment's care label first.
