How to Smooth Your Clothes Without NEVER Touching an Iron.
Ironing: this is an activity that gets me deeply intoxicated!
Heat a metal plate to slowly erase the folds of a garment ...
.... it is, at best, tedious, even downright unbearable!
In addition, you need space to install the board, the pile of laundry and the ironed batteries ...
Luckily, there are some great ways to avoid having to iron your clothes with an iron.
These tips are easy to use and come in handy when traveling or when traveling to a wedding, for example.
I've been using them for a long time and they have saved me more than once from a sticky situation!
here is 4 genius tips to steam your clothes without ever touching an iron. Look :
1. Spray your clothes with water and dry them.
Estimated time : 30 min to an hour.
Before you leave for work in the morning, lightly spray your wrinkled clothes with a water sprayer and let them hang down while they dry.
Be careful, they should not be soggy, but just slightly damp.
You can also add a little white vinegar to the mixture, but be careful, not all fabrics tolerate it. In addition, it can give your clothes a slight vinegar smell.
If you don't mind your clothes being slightly damp (especially in summer), you don't need to let dry for more than 15 minutes.
But for the best results and for your clothes to be completely wrinkle-free, let your clothes dry completely.
You can also add a little fabric softener to the spray to increase the effectiveness of the trick as explained here.
2. Slightly dampen your clothes and put them in the dryer.
Estimated time : 5 to 10 min.
If you are in a hurry, you can use this faster method than the previous one.
To do this, lightly spray your clothes with water, then put them in the dryer.
This tip is only to be used if you need to wear the clothes immediately. It is a method for extreme emergencies!
Be careful, if you leave them in the dryer or in the laundry basket for hours, the folds will reform right away.
If you don't have a spray bottle to spray water on your clothes, you can simply wrap your clothes in a damp towel or put a wet washcloth in the dryer as explained here. .
3. Hang your clothes in the bathroom when you take a shower
Estimated time : the time of your shower.
When you take a shower, you quickly fill a small room with lots of heat and water vapor.
The trick is to use this heat and steam wisely to smooth your clothes.
To do this, simply hang your clothes near your shower when you shower. Obviously, you have to be careful not to get them wet.
But the closer they are to heat and humidity, the better.
Also remember to hang them as high as possible because the steam rises in a room.
Once your shower is finished, put the clothes directly inside the shower and close the cabin or the curtain. All you have to do is let the steam act for at least 10 minutes. Check out the trick here.
4. Use a hair dryer
Estimated time : 5 to 10 min.
Do you have a hairdryer on hand? So you will be able to remove all these creases on your t-shirt or shirt easily!
To do this, simply hang the garment on a hanger and pass the hair dryer to about 3 or 4 cm.
Be careful not to burn the garment! This trick works wonderfully on cotton clothes.
Note that it is more efficient if the hair dryer has a plastic nozzle to blow the air precisely.
And if the hair dryer has a function to blow cold air (instead of hot air), it helps prevent the creases from coming back too quickly. Check out the trick here.
5. Use a hair straightener
Estimated time : 5 to 20 min.
I know you're going to tell me it's cheated because we're using an iron here. But we must admit that it is a very practical tip in an emergency!
A hair straightener works great for ironing a shirt or t-shirt because it has a hot, flat surface like an iron.
What is certain is that it is less bulky to take on a trip than an iron!
Plus, you don't have to do the entire garment. You can just focus on the most wrinkled areas. Check out the trick here.
Before you start, just make sure your hair straightener is perfectly clean and free from hair product residue.
You shouldn't stain your clothes! Also be careful not to burn yourself or damage the most fragile fabrics.
