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</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Unwrinkle clothes in the dryer\n\n\n\n</h2><p>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</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"700\"' height='\"467\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/GettyImages-1185890915.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-18139\"' title='\"\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1185890915.jpg' https: sizes='\"auto,'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Use a hair dryer to get wrinkles out of clothes\n\n\n\n</h2><p>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</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"700\"' height='\"467\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/GettyImages-1306069665.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-18140\"' title='\"\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1306069665.jpg' https: sizes='\"auto,'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Steam away wrinkles in the shower\n\n\n\n</h2><p>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.

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.
