There is something incredibly neat and satisfying about being sharply dressed.
In addition, having your clothes in a wrinkle-free state certainly helps a little in attracting others and respect when presenting yourself.
Therefore, everyone has at least their own special tips and tricks to assure the least amount of effort for the best results.
Most households are aware that shaking out clothes after they come out of the wash helps reduce wrinkles, as is ensuring clean, crisp folds when storing clothes in a drawer.
There are, however, some other tips you may not have heard of.
One of these simple tricks is tossing a few ice cubes along with your clothes in the dryer.
This sounds counter intuitive – isn’t the point of a dryer to get hot enough to dry your clothes? Wouldn’t this melt the ice cubes?
Actually, melting the ice is the entire point of this trick.
While the dryer is running, it gets hot enough to not only melt the ice cubes but turn them into steam.
As long as the dryer isn’t too packed, steam created by the melted ice cubes helps to unwrinkle clothes quickly.
The result – clothes that already appear mostly pressed once pulled out from the dryer, all at the cost of a few ice cubes.
For those of us trying to cut down on the time and effort needed to appear presentable, this trick can save us a few minutes at the ironing board.
