Having wrinkles in your clothes can distract other people from appreciating how awesome your outfit looks. Even if you don't have an iron, you can easily take wrinkles out of your clothes so you can show off your style!

Using Alternative Means to Remove Wrinkles

  1. Put the clothing in a clothes dryer with an ice cube. Tumble drying clothing is a great way to remove wrinkles.
    • Hang the clothes up right after removing them from the dryer so that wrinkles don't come back. Or wear them right away. If you leave the clothes in the dryer for a long time after the cycle ends or toss them into a clothes basket, the wrinkles will probably return.
    • Put a couple ice cubes into the dryer or mist the clothing with water before drying them. The ice cubes will melt, and turn into steam, which will help remove the wrinkles from the clothing. Or you could put a damp sock into the dryer with the wrinkled clothing.
  2. Try putting the wrinkled clothing in the shower. Many people have found this method will remove wrinkles fast. Start the shower, and put the water on hot. Close your bathroom door so the steam can't get out.
  3. Buy or make a wrinkle-removing spray. You can find common wrinkle-removing sprays at the grocery store. The clothing needs to be damp for the spray to work, but it will remove wrinkles. You can also make homemade sprays.

Using Makeshift Irons

  1. Try using the bottom of a heated pot as the iron. Take a pot the size that you would boil noodles in. Boil water in it. Then, dump the water out. Use the bottom of the pot as an iron.
    • The downside of this approach is that you have to be careful not to burn yourself, as well as the clothing. And the heat will be inconsistent because the pot could cool fast and is a circular shape.
    • Still, it's better than wearing a wrinkled shirt, and this method should help you remove at least some wrinkles.
  2. Use a flat iron as an iron. Usually, flat irons are used for curling your hair. However, you could also use the device to iron at least a small section of clothing. A flat iron works really well for reaching areas that are very hard to iron, such as a shirt collar.
    • It's also useful that the iron clamps down on the clothing, meaning it will apply more direct heat than another method, such as a blow dryer.
    • Make sure that you clean the iron first. If you leave hair products on it, like hairspray, they could mar your clothes. Be aware that the products could transfer from your hair onto the iron with each use.
    • You could burn your shirt if you press the flat iron onto the clothing for too long, so be careful. You should not use a curling iron with a round barrel for this.

Trying Something Different Against Wrinkles

  1. Use a blow dryer. In order for a blow dryer to work, you need to dampen the clothing first. Don't douse it. Just make it a little wet, perhaps with a spray bottle. Then, A plastic focusing tip really helps.
    • Hold the dryer about two inches away from the clothing so you don't make it too hot. You don't want to burn the clothing or otherwise damage it.
    • You could also hang the wrinkled clothing first, and then direct the blow dryer's heat on it, again standing one or two inches away.
  2. Roll or flatten the clothes. Maybe you're in a situation where you don't have any way to apply heat or steam to your clothes. You're in luck. You could try rolling or flattening it.
  3. Use a tea kettle. Steam removes wrinkles, so you could boil water in a tea kettle. You want to though, or you could damage the clothing.
    • One benefit of this approach is you can drink a cup of tea afterwards! This approach works well for small problem areas on the clothing.
    • If you have a larger wrinkled garment, it's best to use the steam from a hot shower instead.

Tips

  • If you need to go over seas or travel, you can make more space and have fewer wrinkles by rolling it instead of folding it.
  • If you have an iron, but only have time to iron one thing, make it the collar. It's too close to your face to ignore. People will be sure to see the wrinkles.
  • Don't use stretching methods too much, otherwise your clothes will stretch out.
  • When traveling, unpack tomorrow's clothes straight to the towel hangers in the shower area for 'automatic' touch ups when showering the next morning. Plus, then you can also check to see if they need more major work, including a steaming shower for the night.
  • Using a dryer sheet in the dryer method will prevent static cling in your clothes, and may add a refreshing scent if you choose the right brand.
  • The shower rod method takes a lot of trial and error--don't start with an expensive item of clothing, as it may get soaked.
  • Put something heavy on the wrinkled area of clothing and place it on the wrinkled area. Repeatedly press down on it for about ten seconds.
  • To remove wrinkles from polyester items, you can wash and dry them or use steamers.
