### 🏆 Why This Hack Works

White vinegar acts as a **natural fabric softener**. It relaxes the fibers in your clothing, reducing static, stiffness, and — you guessed it — wrinkles. It’s safe for most fabrics, eco-friendly, and incredibly affordable.

Meanwhile, the **ice cube dryer method** uses steam power — the same principle behind professional wrinkle-release tools — without needing fancy equipment.

Who knew looking polished could be this effortless?
