Iron: This is one of the most tedious chores in the house. This is none other than ironing clothes. However, there are ways not to use it in ironing. In more detail:
Here are nine clever tricks for not using the iron:
- Hair iron: The hair iron is ideal in areas that the conventional iron can not reach, such as collars and small folds. Put the iron on medium heat, hold it in the desired position and wait a few seconds. Make sure the iron has no hairs or sticky styling products on it, as they can damage your clothes. Do not use on delicate fabrics.
- Water + Vinegar: Mix natural wine vinegar with water in a ratio of 1: 3, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and shake lightly. Now you have a spray against crumpled clothes!
- Iron - Steam from a kettle: If you do not have a steam iron for clothes, a kettle can serve as an alternative. When the water starts to boil, take the crumpled clothes and keep them above the steam, about 20 cm away from the mouth.
- Hair dryer: An ordinary hair dryer can also serve as a steam iron. Turn it to the highest temperature and direct the hot air over the crumpled garment.
The rest of the clever tricks for clothes:
- Iron - Shower from the shower: Let the hot water run, hang your clothes as close as possible to the shower head and make sure they are not wet. Close all windows and doors and wait a few minutes.
Wet Towel: Lay clothes on a flat surface, such as an ironing board or table. Cover the crumpled garment with a damp towel and press firmly with your hands. Then let it dry.
- Washing machine: The dryer function can "iron" both cotton and linen fabrics. Choose the short mode: 15 minutes will be enough. If the clothes are very crumpled, add a small, damp object such as a sock.
- The bottom of a utensil: Boil water in a saucepan and empty it. The bottom will be warm enough to act as an iron. Put the clothes on a flat surface and "iron" them with the pot!
- Ice cubes: Put your washing machine in the dryer mode. Put in the crumpled clothes - up to 5. Add 2-3 ice cubes and turn it on. After 10 minutes, you can enjoy perfectly ironed clothes.
