How To Get The Wrinkles Out Without An Iron

Dryer Method

First of all, put the wrinkled items into the dryer.
Take a sock or a washcloth and moisten about half of it.
Put the sock/washcloth in the dryer, along with the wrinkled item.
Set the dryer on a fluff or medium heat setting for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take out the item. It will be free of wrinkles.

Shower Method

Hang the wrinkled item on a hanger and place it close to the shower.
Turn the shower head in a direction where the clothes will not get wet.
Turn the shower on hot and close all the windows.
Leave the bathroom and seal it completely. Make sure to close the door (filling the space under it with a used cloth).
Come back after 10-15 minutes. Most of the wrinkles will be subdued.

Hair Dryer Method

Hang the wrinkled item on a hanger.
Turn on the hair dryer and blow dry the item.
Hold the blow dryer 1-2 inch from the item, making sure not to burn it, and smooth out the wrinkles.
This method is best suited for cotton items.

Towel Method

Take a towel and moisten it slightly, so that it becomes damp.
You can also use a damp towel from a recent bath/shower.
Lay down the wrinkled item on a flat surface (bed, table, etc).
Place the damp towel directly on top of the item.
With your hands through the towel, smoothen out the wrinkles.

Wet Hands

Lay down the wrinkled item on a flat surface (bed, table, etc).
Moisten your hands slightly.
Run the damp hands over the surface of the item, smoothing the wrinkles as you go.
Let the item dry and if not satisfied with the result, repeat the procedure.
