When you put it in the washing machine, the laundry no longer has wrinkles: throw away the iron

  • A small, clean, damp towel

Steps:

  1. Add your laundry to the washing machine as usual.
  2. Toss in the damp towel before starting the wash cycle.
  3. Use a gentle spin cycle and avoid overloading the drum.
  4. Once done, shake garments out before drying or hanging.

This helps reduce friction and prevents tight creases from setting in during the wash and spin cycles.


🧼 Bonus Tips to Keep Clothes Wrinkle-Free

  • Don’t overload your washer or dryer — it causes compression wrinkles.
  • Remove clothes from the dryer immediately when the cycle ends.
  • Hang or fold items right away to maintain smoothness.
  • Use fabric softener or dryer sheets to reduce static and soften fabric.
  • Wash delicate or wrinkle-prone fabrics on a lower spin cycle.

🧺 Why This Trick Works

Wrinkles form when fabrics dry in a crumpled position, especially under heat or pressure. Steam (whether from a damp towel or melting ice) loosens the fibers, allowing them to relax into a smoother shape — all without applying direct heat like an iron would.
