Question:What is the best way to straighten out clothes at home without an iron?
Answers:
when I am in a bind and don't have an iron available, I put the clothes as neatly as possible in the bathroom in the morning when I take my shower. If it gets steamy enough in there, that does the trick with a little bit of manipulation. Good luck. You can also flick some water on them to make the clothing damp and toss them in the dryer (if they can go in the dryer) for just a couple of minutes. I hate to iron-- Good luck to you.
Dry them on a rack or an indoor washing line
take them out of the dryer while they are still damp, and hang them...
Throw them in the dryer for a bit with a wet wash rag, it will effectively steam them, or mix 3 parts water with 1 part fabric softener and strech the wrinkles out (works like downey's wrinkle releaser) or, use a hair-dryer on the wrinkles.
hang in the bathrm as u shower... sometimes that straightens them out.. humidity will take wrinkles out. Also they do have that new product that u throw in the dryer & or spray on.. that will take the wrinkles out.. u mite try that as well.
put a damp towel with your clothes in the dryer for 5 or 6 minutes
first, wash the clothes than after dry fold it properly than put it below ur bed mattress or always try to purchase wrinkle free clothes
Hang them up in the bathroom and run the shower, it may take a while though.
Use a spray bottle and gently mist the clothes, then smooth. Takes out most minor wrinkles.
hang them on a hanger and turn the shower on or put them in the dryer with a damp dish cloth
I've done this whilst travelling. You get a wire hanger and hang the item on it. Hang over the edge of your shower (on the outside!) and have your shower - the steam really helps take the wrinkles out. Not as good as an iron but good enough to look ok.
As soon as you bring them in off the clothes line fold them up and sit on them for about 10 minutes! It really works but make sure you fold them neatly first!!
You can always hang them on hangers in the bathroom when you take a shower and then leave them over night. The heat will steam out all the wrinckles.
Hi, this sounds really stupid, but it does work. My Sister -in-Law came to the United States when she married my Brother. She is from Korea. One day she showed my sister and me how they iron in Korea,without an Iron. You use your feet! Fold the item ,than fold it again,than fold it again and with your feet, smooth the wrinkles out and keep doing it for a few minutes. When you unfold it, it will look like it was ironed . Of course it will have fold marks, and you can get those out by hanging it in a bathroom, with the hot water running. Sounds funny huh? Bye
a blowdryer will help in a pinch
otherwise, I usually hang all clothes fresh out of the dryer - hate folding to get wrinkles or folds in clothes.
you can also throw wrinkled clothes in a dryer with or without misting first to get out some wrinkles.
