Be A #LifePro Life Hack: Wrinkly Shirt No More

January 17, 2014 By Lena

I fully endorse this #LifePro Life Hack from Clorox2:

Wrinkly shirt? Here’s to less stress and less wrinkles! Toss it in the dryer for a few minutes with some ice cubes for a quick steam press. Update: I tried this – and it works like a charm!

The heat from the dryer quickly melts the ice and changes it to steam vapour in a hurry. For added freshness, add half a dryer sheet (no need to waste a whole one) et voila! It’s like you’re back in college all over again. Take those clothes off the floor and breathe some life into them, while bypassing the washing machine entirely! Life = Hacked.

    I never thought of ice cubes. I’ve added a wet towel but this sounds like a better idea.

    • Lena

      February 9, 2014 at 2:04 pm

      A wet towel is another great idea!

    I didn’t realize that it was alright to use ice cubes in the dryer but now that I know…this will save me from having to iron…thank you for that…you are my hero, Lena :)

    • Lena

    I never knew this but it is such an easy way to get rid of wrinkles in clothing, wish it worked for my skin, lol!

    • Lena

      February 9, 2014 at 2:10 pm

      LOL me too!

  22. Flora M

    January 21, 2014 at 2:01 pm

    I just remembered another way to do this – you can take a clean towel (bath towel), dampen it (not to the dripping point, but wet enough) and throw it in with your wrinkly load. Although the ice cube trick is way easier ;)

    • Lena

      February 9, 2014 at 2:11 pm

      Love the towel trick too – it’s probably less noisy :)

  23. MrDisco

    January 24, 2014 at 12:59 am

    that’s awesome tip

  24. loriag

    January 25, 2014 at 9:23 am

    That is a cool tip, guess I am going to be making ice cubes.

    • Lena

      February 9, 2014 at 2:11 pm

    Great tip Lena :) I’ve never heard of this one but I have heard of using a damp cloth as a great wrinkle reducer too.

    • Lena

      February 9, 2014 at 2:12 pm

      Yes! I’m going to try that one too!

    Crazy! I’d have never thought of this. I avoid clothes that need ironing like the plague but this tip may come in handy sometime.
