Reduce your ironing time with 7 helpful tips
Some people love ironing, and some consider it a chore. Either way you can spend less time removing creases and wrinkles from your clothes and free up some valuable time to be doing other things. Here are 7 tips that you may find useful and want to try.
- Iron items before they are completely dry.
- Place aluminium foil under your ironing board cover (shiny side up) to reflect heat to the underside of the clothes. This way you are effectively ironing both sides at once.
- Give a crumpled item of clothing a quick spray with water and tumble dry for 5 minutes.
- Don’t overfill the washing machine or leave clothes sitting around once the cycle has finished.
- Hang up your clothes as soon as they are finished in the dryer. Depending on the fabric, some may not even need ironing!
- Add a fabric softener dryer sheet when tumble drying; they relax wrinkles and soften creases.
- Hang ironed garments immediately and don't overcrowd your wardrobe or all your hard work will be for nothing!
