Remove Wrinkles in Clothes Without Ironing

Donna Daniels
Ironing clothes can be a drag and sometimes with some different types of fabrics an iron is not that effective on the clothes you try to iron. The iron seems to move over the cloth without removing the wrinkles like you think it should.

Irons can be hot to use during a hot summer day and they can be dangerous to use when small children are present. Irons are hot and heavy. If not done properly an iron can burn your clothes and ruin them. If you are traveling you may not have an iron with you and in some instances it may be easier to get a spray bottle then it would be to get an iron.

When you do your laundry and your clothes are finished drying in the dryer you can run over as soon as the dryer is finished and take out your clothes. If you fold the clothes or hang them up fast enough you can eliminate a lot of the wrinkles that could occur if you didn't run over to the dryer as soon as it stops.

You should always get your clothes out of the dryer as fast as you can to reduce wrinkles. If you have a piece of clothing that needs to be treated for wrinkles you can try this simple trick.

Take one part vinegar and three parts water and mix them together. Put the vinegar and water mixture into a spray bottle. Then hang up the clothes you want to remove the wrinkles from. You can hang the clothes on clothes hangers. As the clothes hang take the spray bottle full of vinegar and water and spray the clothes with the vinegar and water mixture

After the clothes have been sprayed with the vinegar and water let the clothes hang and air dry. When the clothes are air dried they should be wrinkle free or at least less wrinkled.

This method of taking wrinkles out of clothes will not work if the clothes are not washable. If you think the clothes will be damaged by the vinegar and water spray bottle method then don't use this method on those clothes.

On washable clothes this method works with less damage to the clothes then using an iron on the clothes.

If you don't like to use an iron yet you would like to remove wrinkles from your clothes then you may want to try to spray your clothes with vinegar and water to remove the wrinkles from your clothes.

    not really. since the vinager is just a small amount it just leaves a fresh scent when it dries.
