How to deal with wrinkled clothes w/o a iron

<p>I put too many clothes into the dryer at one time and had to use the dryer twice due to the clothes being still a bit wet, and on the second time I forgot to put fabric softener so my clothes turned out all wrinkly. I don't have a iron. Should I put my clothes back into the dryer with fabric softener? Would that work?</p>

<p>Try wetting one or two items then putting them back in the dryer with the dry stuff and run another drying cycle. And take them out when the dryer stops or they will get wrinkly again.</p>

<p>If you have your own shower, hang the clothes near it and turn it up to the highest level of hot water. The steam will get rid of the wrinkles.</p>

<p>Instead of wetting one of the clothes, take a hand towel and get it thoroughly wet. Wring it out so it's not dripping. Then put it in with your wrinkly clothes. Stop the dryer (if it allowed) and remove one or two items at a time to hang up or fold. </p>

<p>Shower usually doesn't work as well with items that became wrinkled from sitting in a dryer, although it works fine with clothes that are wrinkled from being folded in a suitcase.</p>

<p>I was going to offer the suggestion of the shower, but somebody already beat me to it. Sooo I second this.</p>

<p>buy no iron shirts from brook brothers</p>

<p>There's some kind of wrinkle remover spray you can buy - spray it on and straighten out the item of clothing - it helps quite a bit. But it's best to fold your items as soon as the dryer is done.</p>

<p>Throw your wrinkled clothing back in the dryer. Leave them in there for a while, and when you take them out they should be wrinkle free. Just be sure to fold/hang them as soon as you can, otherwise they'll just sit in the basket and wrinkle all over again.</p>

<p>What's wrong with just getting an iron?</p>

<p>You can get those wrinkle-remover sprays or hang up your clothes as soon as you wash them. You can also buy a steam iron that retail stores usually use to get rid of wrinkles.</p>

<p>You CAN run them in the dryer again (with fabric softener). Look at the time dial on the dryer (if there is one). There should be a "label" saying press or wrinkles.... Set it to this because it usually is near the end of the cycle, so you won't have to go through a full drying cycle for clothes that are not wet. Take your clothes out RIGHT AWAY and smooth them out or they will wrinkle again.</p>

<p>Doesn't the dryer you use have a permanent press function? That's almost as good as an iron.</p>

<p>i use a hair straightener sometimes.
seriously. works the same as an iron.</p>

<p>permanent press, but IMO you can still tell the difference if you just iron something, it looks so much better. In your case just wash your clothing again...</p>

<p>one more vote for the wrinkle-remover spray. i use it and it's great. spray it, hang it overnight, and you have nice smooth clothes in the morning.</p>

<p>In boot camp we had to use what they called the 'ricky iron', which was nothing but a flat, hard, clean surface, and the palm of your hand pressing down. I guess the logic was that your own body heat acted as a rudimentary iron; surprisingly, it worked fairly well, so if you're strapped for cash and happen to have a surface you can use, try that.</p>
