Close Credit: SvitlanaMartyn / Getty Images Even the most polished outfit can look disheveled if it's overly creased or rumpled. But what happens when you don't have the time (or the tools) to pull out the ironing board? Whether you’re traveling, rushing out the door, or just trying to avoid the hassle, there are a few clever ways to get rid of wrinkles without an iron—including some tried-and-true Martha tips. Here's how to get your clothes looking crisp without ever needing to plug in an iron. 11 Old-Fashioned Laundry Tips That Experts Still Swear By 01 of 05 Toss It in the Dryer Credit: Eva-Katalin / Getty Images This one is shared courtesy of Martha herself. Her go-to trick? As she writes in decorvow’s Organizing, "For nearly wrinkle-free clothes in a pinch, pop them into the dryer with a clean, damp towel for a few minutes." This method is especially effective on cotton, polyester blends, and other everyday fabrics. For added freshness, you can toss in a dryer sheet or wool dryer ball scented with essential oil. 02 of 05 Harness Your Steamy Shower Credit: Lourdes Balduque / Getty Images No steamer on hand? The steam from a hot shower can work wonders on lightly wrinkled clothing. When you take your shower (so as not to waste water), hang your garment on a hanger in the bathroom—close enough to catch the steam, but not so close that it gets soaked. By the time you get yourself clean, your outfit should look noticeably smoother. This method is particularly useful in hotels, where an iron and board may not be available. Should You Use a Steamer or Iron to Remove Wrinkles? Laundry Experts Settle the Debate 03 of 05 Use a Wrinkle-Release Spray Wrinkle-release sprays are another low-effort solution ideal for travel (or if you just don't want to pull out the ironing board). These commercially available sprays relax fabric fibers often with the added bonus of a light fragrance. Simply spray evenly, gently smoothing the fabric with your hand, and the wrinkles should release as it dries. You can DIY your own wrinkle-release spray by combining equal parts fabric softener and water in a spray bottle. 04 of 05 Grab Some White Vinegar Credit: Michelle Lee Photography / Getty Images From shining-up glass to unclogging drains, white vinegar's many (many) uses include easing the appearance of wrinkles. Add both white vinegar and water to a spray bottle in equal amounts. Shake well to combine, then spray onto creases and smooth. It's always recommended that you perform a spot test first before applying new formulas and treatments to fabrics. 05 of 05 Prevention Is Key Sometimes prevention is just as effective as a cure. “Smaller washloads can mean fewer wrinkles—as does removing items right after washing and drying,” Martha says in Organizing. "Clothing needs room to breathe, as overcrowding causes wrinkles," she adds in The Martha Manual: How to Do (Almost) Everything―Expert Strategies For Organizing, Celebrating, Cleaning, Decorating, and More. "That's why wooden hangers are the only option for me." These small habits can minimize set-in wrinkles, making other crease-smoothing tricks less necessary in the first place.
