Iron without an iron

Have you already prepared to interview for a job, wear your best shirt, but on the day of the interview the shirt is all wrinkled? 

Oh and of course, you don't have an ironing board or even worse any iron at all. Well if this is your case, Simply is here for you! We have selected the best tips on how to iron your clothes without any ironing materials just for you. 

1. Using a hair straightener to unwrinkle clothes

If you are a girl or happen to have a hair straightener, you can use it as an iron.  Remember to set it to the minimum temperature to avoid burning the fabric. If you want to be extra careful, don't hesitate to protect your clothing with a towel. You can iron a whole T-shirt in this way, just the collar of your shirt, or only the part visible under your sweater!

2. Using a hair dryer

Wet a sponge with water and wipe it over the wrinkled parts of the clothing. Hang it on a hanger and turn on the hair dryer. Make sure it is about 5 centimeters away from the garment.  Dry until the folds disappear.

3. Using a homemade vaporizer

Using a spray bottle, prepare the following mixture: 1/3 fabric softener, 1/3 white vinegar, 1/3 water! Shake and spray lightly on the wrinkled garment. The folds will disappear when the garment is dry!

4. Using a kettle

Pass your piece of clothing over your kettle. The steam will smooth the laundry but be careful to keep the tip of the kettle 40-50 cm from the item of clothing at the risk of damaging it! Unfortunately, this technique only works on slightly wrinkled clothing.

5. Hang up your wrinkled clothes while you take a shower

Are you in a hurry in the morning and forgot to iron a garment? You can still save your day! Hang the wrinkled garment on the towel dryer. The steam from your hot shower will smooth out the wrinkles in 10-15 minutes.
