Throw 3 Ice Cubes in the Washing Machine: You Can’t Imagine What Happens to the Laundry
It might sound like one of those too-good-to-be-true internet hacks—but throwing three ice cubes into your washing machine before a cycle actually has a surprising (and useful) effect on your laundry. No need for extra chemicals, fabric sprays, or lengthy ironing sessions. Just a few cubes of frozen water can help make your clothes come out fresher, smoother, and less wrinkled.
Here’s how it works—and why you might want to try it on your next load.
The Ice Cube Laundry Trick Explained
This clever hack works best in the dryer, not the washing machine as the viral phrase suggests. But the idea remains the same: add 3 ice cubes to your dryer drum with a load of wrinkled clothes.

It’s like giving your clothes a quick, gentle steam treatment—without pulling out the ironing board or steamer.
Why It Works

The heat from the dryer melts the ice.

The steam softens and relaxes the fabric, minimizing wrinkles.
