How to Iron Clothes Without an Iron
Posted at 17:42, 22/12/2008 by LauraWilliams

If your iron just broke (or you just don't feel like pulling it out) try this little trick from essortment:

“Take a single piece of clothing fresh from the washer or otherwise damp or dampened. Fold this item neatly. Wrap it with a thick, dry towel. Lay it in the drier flat on the bottom to dry and put it through a normal drying cycle. Take it out and examine it after ten to fifteen minutes. If it doesn’t appear dry and pressed, fold it the same way again, wrap it again and lay it in the bottom of the drier to dry for an additional ten to fifteen minutes. Hang the item of clothing up immediately once it comes out of the drier dry and appearing neatly pressed. If clothing doesn’t come out looking properly pressed, you may want to experiment with folds more appropriate to each individual item. This should help the clothing to come out pressed with a more appealing look.”

Or if you don’t have a dryer:

“Fold a freshly washed item inside a thick towel. Lay an older towel over it. Take a steaming teakettle or pan of water and lay it on top of the heap.”
