Explanation:
We wash clothes with detergent or soap. The detergent solution is hypertonic comparing to the concentration of skin cells present in our body. And thus due to exosmosis water expels out from our finger and this leads to the shrinking of our finger.

When we wash clothes, the soap and water together create a hypertonic solution and our skin acts as a semi - permeable membrane. Exosmosis takes place . As a result water moves out of our skin and and thus it shrinks.
