1. 8 Smart Tips to Remove Clothes Wrinkles Without Needing an Iron
These methods will help you flatten your attire when the iron suddenly malfunctions.
The iron is an essential item in every household. But if one day our iron suddenly breaks, or we go somewhere far and forget to bring the mini iron with us, what should we do? In these situations, how do you manage a dress shirt for an important meeting or a dress for a date?
Don't worry, with these 8 smart tips, you won't have to worry too much. Your clothes will quickly become smooth!
1. Hair Dryer
Is your iron out of commission? No worries! Fix it with a hair dryer. First, sprinkle a bit of water on the pants/clothes to add moisture! Now, pull them tight, keeping the clothing straight, and then use the hair dryer to dry from top to bottom.
In a few minutes, when your clothes are dry, those stubborn wrinkles will disappear!
2. Use a hair straightener
This method is extremely useful when you want to flatten the collar or sleeves with wrinkles. Pay attention to using a moderate temperature to avoid scorching clothes! Then, simply clamp the section needing smoothing between the plates and flatten it out, similar to straightening hair. One small note is to ensure the hair straightener is free from hair products and dust to avoid damaging the clothes!
3. Water and vinegar mixture
When you shower, hang the garment near the showerhead to absorb the rising hot steam. However, ensure your clothes don't get wet. Clothes 'steamed' in hot steam will be relatively wrinkle-free, and creases will be stretched out.
5. Iron clothes with a pot
Did you know, the bottom of a metal pot can also be used as a handy makeshift iron? If you don't believe it, try boiling half a pot of water or pouring boiling water into the pot with a strainer. Then, spray a little cold water on the wrinkled clothing. Now gently press the bottom of the pot onto the surface of the clothes; the hot bottom of the pot will quickly eliminate all wrinkles on the clothes. Note that you should choose a metal pot with a clean, non-rusty bottom, or it may cause you trouble.
6. Use a water kettle
Believe it or not - a boiling water kettle can also flatten your clothes! First, boil a kettle of water until steam appears at the spout. Hold the garment over this steam. Note that you should place the garment away from the kettle lid about 20cm to capture the hottest steam!
You'll be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of using steam to flatten clothes!
7. Wet cloth - a powerful assistant to keep clothes wrinkle-free
First, wash a clean bath towel with warm water, then press the towel onto the clothes and use your hands to straighten the surface. After a few minutes, the outfit will no longer be wrinkled, and you can either hang it in the sun or put it in the clothes dryer for immediate wear.
8. Flatten clothes with a cold stone
Place wrinkled clothes and a few stones into the washing machine, and set the drying mode at a high temperature for a few minutes. After 10 minutes, the stones will melt, turning into steam and eliminating all wrinkles on your clothes.
