There’s a domino effect that’s triggered when your wrinkled clothes cause you to run late. These clever fixes will help you iron twice as fast, and they actually work!
There’s a domino effect that’s triggered when you’re getting ready to start your day, only to find your clothes covered in wrinkles. It can throw off the rest of your morning routine, and it inevitably happens at the worst possible moment (job interview, anyone?).
We love these clever tricks to help you iron twice as fast — and they actually work!
Use tin foil to iron a shirt
We bet you never thought foil would come in handy to iron out wrinkles. This hack is genius because instead of rotating your garment around the ironing board, the aluminum foil actually reflects the heat back onto the fabric so you iron both sides at the same time.
What you’ll need:
- Aluminum foil
- Iron
- Ironing board
What you’ll do:
1. Line your ironing board with aluminum foil.
2. Lay your garment flat on top of foil.
3. Pass over the garment with the iron several times while pressing the steam button. The wet heat removes wrinkles from both sides of the garment at once.
4. Allow garment to cool completely before dressing. (Warm fabric is likely to re-wrinkle!)
