Cleaning Tips

Easily remove wrinkles from your clothes… without an iron, in about 10 minutes.

Confession time.

Here is my typical laundry routine: Wash clothes. Dry clothes. Take clothes out of dryer. Toss in laundry basket. Allow to sit for a couple days in a heap.

Sound familiar?

The problem with this strategy is that when I finally get around to folding the clothes (and hopefully putting them away), the clothes are so wrinkled. Let’s take a look at my husband’s undershirt…

I mean, seriously. This shirt is ridiculously wrinkled, right? And it’s not just this shirt, there are a half-dozen that look just like this. Let’s be honest, I’m not about to pull out my iron for undershirts, and certainly not for a half-dozen of them.

No fear. There is a super simple trick to de-wrinkle all these shirts in about 10 minutes. Ready?

How to Easily Remove Wrinkles From Clothing

Wetting down washcloth to remove wrinkles from clothes

Grab a washcloth and get it wet; then wring it out.

Toss the wet washcloth into the dryer with your wrinkly items and set the dryer to dry for 10 minutes. (If you have dryer balls, make sure those are in there too.)

When the buzzer goes off, remove your items, and they should be (nearly) wrinkle-free.

How awesome is that?

This time, don’t toss them in a basket for days; fold them and put them away. Done.

    Great tip! I do that sometimes, too. Or I toss wrinkly clothes in the dryer with clothing fresh from the washing machine,

    I keep a spray bottle filled with water near the dryer and just spray the wrinkley clothes before tossing them in the dryer for the 10mins:)

    Or you can use a microfiber cloth…….less lint. There is also a steam ball that’s sort of like the dryer balls only hollow with holes all over it and a piece of foam inside. Soak it and throw it in the dryer with the wrinkled clothes……no lint. Actually, the best thing I ever did to avoid wrinkles clothes was to install a clothes rod in my laundry room, reduce the number of clothes we own and to hang almost everything instead of folding t-shirts and jeans, etc. I have the hangers on a rod over the washer and dryer and a hanging rod for the clothes opposite the washer and dryer. Pull the clothes out, put them on a hanger, hang them on the rod. Even if I don’t have time to put them away, at least they don’t have to make multiple trips through the dryer, lol!
