No time to iron? Don’t panic. These tips will have you smoothed out in no time.\n\n\n\n

No iron? No problem\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all experienced that horrible feeling of dressing for an important engagement only to discover that the shirt we were planning to wear to that job interview, big meeting, or dressy event is full of wrinkles. Inevitably, there\u2019s no time to heat up the iron. As much as we\u2019d like to believe otherwise, a shirt will not unwrinkle as you wear it. But there\u2019s no reason to panic! We\u2019re going to show you how to get wrinkles out of clothes without an iron.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Some of these methods may surprise you, and some will come in especially handy when you\u2019re traveling. Because even if you\u2019ve perfected how to do laundry and how to iron\u2014and even if you know when to use a steamer vs. iron and what the best steam irons are\u2014sometimes you need to know how to iron without an iron. So let\u2019s get to it.\n\n\n\n

Unwrinkle clothes in the dryer\n\n\n\n

Curious about how to get wrinkles out of clothes without spending your whole morning tending to each garment? Toss \u2019em in the dryer.\u00a0First, check your garments\u2019 labels for the laundry symbols to determine whether you can safely machine dry them. If you can, spritz the items with water and toss them in with a damp item or two (like damp socks). You can even throw a couple of ice cubes into the dryer. When they melt, they give off steam that\u2019ll help your garments ditch their wrinkles. Spin for about 15 minutes on medium.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Use a hair dryer to get wrinkles out of clothes\n\n\n\n

Lay the wrinkled item on a flat surface and blast hot air with your hair dryer. Keep the dryer a couple of inches above the fabric, and cover the front and back of the garment. Like magic, the wrinkles will disappear before your eyes. You can spritz or flick a few drops of water on the item before blowing it dry to help soften it.\u00a0\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Steam away wrinkles in the shower\n\n\n\n

You know how to hand-wash clothes when you\u2019re away from home. Now learn how to unwrinkle a shirt when you\u2019re traveling. Hang the wrinkled item in the bathroom and turn on the shower, using the hottest water. Shut the door to create a sauna effect. Check back in about 10 minutes but understand it may take up to 20 minutes to completely remove the wrinkles. If you\u2019re hanging the garment on the shower rod, be sure the showerhead is facing away from it to avoid getting your clothing item wet.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Use a hair straightener to unwrinkle clothing\n\n\n\n

The best dryer sheets can help you avoid wrinkles. But that\u2019s not always enough\u2014especially if you\u2019ve stuffed your clothes in a suitcase. A flat iron works really well on stubborn wrinkles, especially for hard-to-iron areas like collars, cuffs, and sleeves. Just make sure your device isn\u2019t rusty, stained with hair products, or holding loose hairs. And be careful of the heat setting and the pressure you use. You don\u2019t want to damage your clothing or burn yourself\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Release wrinkles with a damp towel\n\n\n\n

This is such a simple method, but it totally works. On a flat surface, place a damp towel over the wrinkled clothing. Use your hands to press down and smooth out deep creases. Hang the item to air dry. Prior to leaving for your event, check yourself for stray hairs and lint balls\u2014and remove pilling on clothes before you walk out the door.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Use a wrinkle-release spray\n\n\n\n

Keep a bottle of professional wrinkle-release spray in your laundry room for quick fixes. Downy Wrinkle Releaser, an Amazon\u2019s Choice best-seller, comes in a crisp linen scent to make garments smell like they were freshly pressed. Wondering how to get wrinkles out of clothes while you\u2019re on the go? The Laundress Crease Release is the answer. It\u2019s TSA friendly (read: small) and won\u2019t weigh down your luggage.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Steam out wrinkles with a tea kettle\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have a steamer on hand? Learn how to get wrinkles out of clothes with nothing but a teapot. Boil water in a tea kettle, then hold your clothing item about a foot away from the steam.\u00a0\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Make an iron out of a pot\n\n\n\n

Boil water in a metal pot. Once it reaches a rolling boil, toss the water. You\u2019re going to use the bottom of the pot as an iron to smooth out the wrinkles in your garment. Make sure the bottom of the pot is clean, though, and be careful because it\u2019s going to be hot.\u00a0\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Tuck it under a mattress\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to get wrinkles out of clothes with nothing but your mattress. Lay your garment on a flat surface, smooth out the wrinkles, and then roll it like a burrito. Slide your fabric burrito under the mattress and wait 15 to 30 minutes. Remove it and\u2014surprise!\u2014no more wrinkles.\u00a0\n\n\n\n
