For my kids clothes, I usually spritz them down with a water bottle then throw them in the dryer, and viola - no wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238475 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 14:07:23 +0000 lady 238475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is good to know. I avoid the iron to the best of my ability. This will be good to practice once i've got my own dryer again. currently have to pay for the units in my apt building. ugh....a major downside to apt living. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238393 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 06:22:11 +0000 Reneeb 238393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip Maya thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238380 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 05:26:39 +0000 AJ 238380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, what setting on the dryer did you use?</p> <p>When you move out, will you be visiting your parents once a week for a family dinner? You could do your laundry then. </p> <p>Possible to get a rental with a washer and dryer in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238362 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 04:16:16 +0000 Anonymous 238362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got to try that, Maya. I tend to put them in a cold dryer to tumble for a few minutes, then take out to hang. I like your method better.<br /> After you move out, could you put your dry shirts in the dryer with the freshly washed towels for the same benefit? Downey wrinkle release is great. I usually use it the night before on what I'll be wearing the next day to give it plenty of time to dry, although it doesn't take much to relax the wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238358 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 04:03:50 +0000 Marley 238358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!

I mostly use a steamer nowadays and only uses the iron if I need to sharpen a crease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238207 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:12:49 +0000 Traci 238207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Downy has a product called Wrinkle Release that you can try when you don't have access to a dryer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238200 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:01:02 +0000 Anonymous 238200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah,ok.

No shrinkage. I left them in for as long as it took to dry the towel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238186 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:45:21 +0000 Anonymous 238186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - How long did you leave the stuff in for? I am petrified of the dryer and shrinkage... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238182 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:33:22 +0000 Maya 238182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is. I just wish it were sustainable for me. Works great when I'm at home but I'm still confounded by what to do when I move out. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238181 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:32:46 +0000 catgirl 238181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this all the time to avoid ironing... Nice, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238178 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:27:49 +0000 marianna 238178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh great tip. I will do this. I'm totally anti-ironing. Too lazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-worked#post-238176 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:25:19 +0000 Maya 238176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In one of the other threads I said I was going to try steaming my ironables in the dryer by tossing a wet hand towel in with my air dried shirts. Well I just did my first trial run and...</p> <p>...no more wrinkles! </p> <p>Of course they are not as crisp and pristine as if they had been perfectly pressed, but I'm ok with that. They certainly look better than they do when I attempt to iron and end up inadvertently setting existing wrinkles into place...</p> <p>Anyway, if you do insist on a crisp look, it could still be a good way to cut down on time spent trying to get really stubborn wrinkles out. </p>
