Take a thick towel and inside it, fold the cloth that you want to press. Over it put an old towel. Now pour boiling hot water in a kettle and press it on top of the towel. Apply a gentle pressure so that you smooth out the wrinkles.

 

Take the cloth that you want to iron, and then dampen it with a little bit of water. Fold this cloth neatly and then wrap it in a thick and dry towel. Now, keep the towel holding the cloth into the bottom of the dryer. Keep it flat and smooth. Start the dryer and let it go through the normal drying cycle. After 10 to 15 minutes take it out of the dryer and examine it. If you still find wrinkles then repeat the procedure, by wrapping the cloth again in the towel and then drying it. If you do not find any wrinkles and the cloth looks well pressed, then hang it to dry immediately. When doing this procedure make sure that you fold the cloth according to the type of the cloth. To avoid dryer made wrinkles watch out the laundry cycle. As soon as the alarm goes off, take out the cloths and then hang them to dry. This will effectively remove most of the wrinkles.

 

Another way by which you can avoid using the iron to press your clothes is to use the hair dryer. Hang the cloth on a hanger without any folds. Now, take the dryer and hold it 2 to 3 inches away from the cloth so that it doesn’t get damaged. Blow dry the cloth until it looks pressed. Use the hair dryer mostly on cotton clothes, as they are more suited to it.

 

You can also use the sunlight to effectively press the cloth. Take hangers that are a little large. Hang the clothes on them so that the clothes are stretched tight at the shoulders. Hang a few clothespins at the bottom to add a little weight. You can also add these weights on the sleeves. Keep the hangers with the clothes in the sun to dry. This is a very good way to remove wrinkles and lightly iron the clothes.
