How To Remove Wrinkles From Your Clothes

Wrinkles on our clothes aren’t a good look and they are sure to raise eyebrows. There are ways to reduce wrinkles from forming but sometimes, mistakes happen. The good news for you is that we’ve compiled a guide on how to remove wrinkles from your clothes.

how to remove wrinkles from your clothes

1. Use a Flat Iron

If wrinkles have formed on your clothes, a flat iron is your best friend when it comes to removing them. Simply press on your garment to remove any unwanted wrinkles. Be wary of the temperatures. If you’re dealing with cotton material, use high heat but if you’re dealing with silk, use low heat.

2. Blow Dry Your Garments

Your hairdryer isn’t just useful for making your hair look in good condition, it is also useful for getting wrinkles out of clothes. For this tip, simply set your hairdryer to a hot setting and lay the fabric on a flat surface. For the purposes of keeping your fabric in top condition, don’t blow-dry too close (hold it a couple of inches away).

3. Press Your Garment On a Flat Surface

For this tip, you can roll your wrinkled garment on a flat surface, roll it up and then put it underneath a mattress for between 15-30 minutes. The weight of the mattress will then press your garment and remove any wrinkles.

4. Press With A Damp Towel

Alternatively, you can also press down on your garment using a damp towel. This will effectively remove wrinkles.

5. Use Your Tumble Dryer

Your tumble dryer can do the job well in removing wrinkles but mostly for cotton clothes.

If you spot any stubborn wrinkles, simply put the garment in the dryer with a damp towel which helps create steam and eliminate the wrinkles. The timeframe for this is typically 5-10 minutes because any longer, the heat will not be good for your clothes.

6. Steam Using a Teapot

Your teapot is ideal for making that perfect cup of tea but it can also be used to steam your garments and remove tiny wrinkles. Perhaps an unconventional method but it does the job.

To begin, simply boil the water and then pour it out on a sink (leaving your teapot empty but hot). Afterwards, you can use your teapot just like an iron and press it on your garment on a table.

It’s important to note that this only works for cotton, wool and linen. Any clothes made from plastic or vinyl will result in them melting.

How To Prevent Wrinkles On Your Clothes

Taking pride in your clothes comes down to the fine details. The suit or outfit you wear may look good at a glance but when you look in the mirror for a closer inspection, you realise there are wrinkles on your clothes.

Why Do Clothes Wrinkle?

The most common reasons stubborn wrinkles form; leaving them on the dryer for too long, not ironing them properly or not organising the piles neatly.

If you are guilty of the habits above, we’re here to help show you how to prevent wrinkles on your clothes!

1. Piles Your Clothes Neatly

Not organising your clothes is the cause of many problems. Not only does it make your room look messy, but it is also why your clothes get wrinkled. To prevent wrinkles, make sure you are piling and folding them up properly.

Only hang your clothes up in the closet once they’re dry because hanging them while they are still moist can cause wrinkles to form.

Secondly, don’t leave your closets crowded with clothes – save space. Too little room would only cause your clothes to rub against each other and thus they’ll be wrinkled.

If you are travelling, try to neatly pack your luggage because untidy packing leads to more wrinkles.

2. Be Cautious When Drying

As always with clothes care, read the labels on your clothes to be on the safe side as some fabrics need less heat on the tumble dryer. To prevent wrinkles on your clothes, make sure you aren’t overheating your clothes and once the cycle finishes, take your clothes out instantly and hang them to prevent wrinkles from forming.

3. Use Fabric Softeners

Fabric softeners are heroes in the laundry world. They keep our clothes smelling fresh and keep the wrinkles away. Also, fabric softeners increase your clothes’ lifecycle. So next time you start the laundry, add fabric softener, and watch the magic happen!

Now that you have the knowledge of what causes wrinkles and how to prevent them, your clothes should be in better condition!

If you need to help with getting the wrinkles away, just get in touch with Laundryheap and we’ll iron your clothes to perfection! Book a service, choose a collection date and we’ll deliver your clothes back to you within 24 hours!

How to get wrinkle-free bedding without having to iron

Creased bedding is not very appealing to the eye, but ironing can be an arduous task. These hacks for getting crease-free bedding without an iron are the solution to all of your creased-bedding problems. 

  • Don’t overload 
  • Ice cubes
  • DIY wrinkle spray
  • Hairdryer
  • Laundryheap 

Don’t overload 

It’s always best to prevent a problem rather than solve one. To limit the creasing of your bedsheets make sure that you don’t overload your washing machine. Overloading your machine will cause your sheets to become tangled, therefore encouraging creases. Consider washing your bedding separately from the rest of your laundry to ensure that your items have adequate space to be washed.

Ice cubes 

The best way to remove wrinkles from bedding is with steam. You don’t need a steamer or an iron to use steam to remove wrinkles, all you need is a handful of ice cubes and a tumble dryer. Once you have put your bedding in your tumble dryer, throw in 2-3 ice cubes and use a high heat setting for 15 minutes. The heat will melt the ice cubes, creating steam, which will relax the fibers in your bedding and remove any wrinkles.

DIY wrinkle spray

You can buy wrinkle spray, but why buy something that you can make at home? 

To make wrinkle spray you will need…

  • An empty spray bottle
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 teaspoon of fabric softener 
  • 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol

Combine your water, fabric softener, and rubbing alcohol in your empty spray bottle. Give your bottle a shake, ensuring that all of your ingredients are adequately mixed together. Once you are satisfied that your wrinkle spray has been adequately mixed, spray it directly onto your sheets. You should notice your wrinkles disappearing, and the fabric softener leaving behind a pleasant, fresh, smell.

Hairdryer 

If you have made your bed, only to realise that your sheets are covered in wrinkles, then this simple hairdryer technique will lift the wrinkles in no time. Simply spritz your bedding with water, don’t be afraid to spritz additional water on deeper-set wrinkles, and turn your hairdryer on to the highest heat setting. Move your hairdryer from side to side over each sprayed wrinkle, and watch as they disappear. You’ll have crease-free bedding in no time.
