• Advice

• Pick up the clothes and spray. Gently brush the fabric surface to smooth wrinkles after spraying.
• Commercially available sprays work best when used on cotton fabrics. You should not use spray to flatten clothes on delicate fabrics like silk, as this can leave streaks of water. Test first on a small angle before spraying the entire surface of the garment.
• You can also make home-clothes spray with water and a little vinegar. Pour into a spray bottle and spray a thin layer over the clothes. Note, however, that the smell of vinegar can remain on the clothes. Instead of vinegar, you can add a small amount of fabric softener to the water. Keep spray bottles at your desk for a quick response before presentations or keep them in the car on long trips.
• It is best to hang the clothes to dry after spraying. You also need to make sure the clothes are only slightly damp. This method will not be very effective if you spray the clothes soaked in water. Outdoor clothes can be hung, but it is best to apply only to white clothes as the sun can discolor the fabric.

Method 2 of 3: Use iron replacements

1. 

   
   
   Try using the bottom of a hot saucepan to make an iron. Use a small saucepan that you normally cook with noodles. Pour water into the saucepan and boil. Then pour the water away. Use the bottom of the pot to make clothes.
   • The downside of this method is that you need to be very careful not to burn or burn your clothes. The heat is also uneven because the bottom of the saucepan cools quickly and turns round.
   • However, it's better to wear wrinkled clothes anyway, and this should at least help you smooth out some of the wrinkles.

2. 

   Use a hair straightener to make an iron. Usually, a straightener can be used for curling hair. However, you can use the tool for fine wrinkles on clothes. Straighteners are very effective at flattening difficult areas like shirt collars.
   • Also useful is that the straightener can be pressed against the clothes, meaning the heat will be applied to the fabric more directly than other methods, such as a hairdryer.
   • Be sure to clean the straightener before using it. If hair products such as hair spray still remain on the machine, it could damage your clothes. Note that hair products may adhere to the machine after each use.
   • Your shirt could burn if pressed for too long, so be careful. You should not use a bar curling iron for this.

Method 3 of 3: Other measures to flatten clothes

1. 

   
   
   Use a hair dryer. For this to work, you need to first moisten the clothes. Don't get your clothes wet. You should only dampen a little, perhaps you should use a spray bottle. Turn on the hair dryer on the lowest setting. A hairdryer with a wind-focused plastic tip is useful.
   • Hold the dryer about 5 cm from the surface of the fabric to avoid overheating. You don't want to burn or damage your clothes.
   • You can also hang the clothes up first, then point the dryer head at the fabric surface, about 2.5 - 5 cm away.

2. 

   Roll or flatten clothes. Maybe you're in a situation where there's no way to use heat or steam to flatten clothes. Do not worried. You can try the roll or flat extrusion method.
   • Tightly roll the clothes to be flattened, like a roll. Then put it under a mattress or something heavy for about an hour. When you take your clothes and open them, you will notice less wrinkles.
   • Alternatively, you can flatten the clothes with a wet towel. Spread wrinkled clothing on a flat surface. Moisten a towel (or a tissue if you don't have a towel). Put a towel on the clothes (wrinkles). Press down. Then let dry.
   • These methods will take a little longer, but thanks to the force of swiping your hands through the towel, your clothes should be relatively less wrinkled.

3. 

   
   
   Use kettle. The steam will help remove wrinkles in the fabric, so you can heat in a kettle to flatten the garment. However, you should keep the clothes about 30 cm away from a kettle spraying steam to avoid damaging the clothes.
   • One benefit of this method is that you can then enjoy a cup of tea! This works well for small parts of clothes.
   • If you need to flatten large clothing, it is best to use the steam from the shower in the bathroom.

Advice

• If you need to go abroad or travel, you can save space in your suitcase and reduce wrinkles by rolling instead of folding.
• If you have an iron but don't have time to complete the shirt, be a collar. The collar is close to the face so it's easy to spot. People will definitely see your collar wrinkled.
• Do not overdo stretching methods, lest clothes will stretch.
• When going away, take your clothes out and hang them on the towel bar in the bathroom so that it "automatically" lessens when you shower the next morning. You can also check if a more intense approach is needed, including using steam in the shower at night.
• Use scented paper when using the drying method to prevent static electricity on your clothes and make them fragrant if you choose the right brand.
• How to hang clothes in the bathroom requires a lot of experimentation - don't start with an expensive item, as it can get wet.
• Place a heavy object on the crease in the garment. Press down for about 10 seconds several times.
