There are two types of people in the world: people who hate ironing and those who love it. Some even go as far as ironing their bed sheets.
If you’re in the first camp, then this hack is for you.
How get wrinkles out of clothes without an iron
A mum (aka @mama_mila_) has taken to TikTok to share a laundry hack you’ll wish you knew sooner.
The mum says to mix one cup of water with 1 tbsp of conditioner into a spray bottle. Spray your wrinkled clothes and smooth them out with your hands. Voila! It’s that simple. Watch the video here.
Her fans were impressed with one saying, “I have to try number 2. Ironing is the worst!”
Another added: “Hair conditioner? I’ve been doing water and fabric softener.”
How to get creases out of clothes: more tips
While this magic crease-removing spray does help remove wrinkles, there are other things you can do to ensure you never have to iron again.
- Before buying clothes, conduct a wrinkle test. Grab some of the fabric, give it a scrunch, and see how wrinkled it gets. If there are lots of creases, then walk away.
- For clothes that need ironing, like business shirts, instead of hanging them on the line with pegs – put them on a coat hanger and leave them to dry. There will be fewer creases.
- Fold your clothes as soon as you take them off the line. Leaving them clumped in the washing basket for days will only worsen the creases.
- If you’re in a pinch, you can try putting an ice cube in the dryer for 15 minutes with the crinkled shirt. The steam should help to iron out the creases.
