Try these 7 methods to get wrinkles out of clothes:

  1. 1. Spray With Fabric Refresher
  2. 2. Iron the Clothes
  3. 3. Use a Garment Steamer
  4. 4. Use a Hair Dryer
  5. 5. Toss the Clothes in the Dryer with Ice Cubes

  7. 7. Use a Water and Fabric Softener

Wrinkles are like the laundry version of a bad hair day. No one asked for them, and they show up at the worst times. You’ve got a big meeting or a hot date, and your shirt looks like it’s been wadded up in the corner for a week.

Not cool.

But don’t panic—this guide will teach you how to banish those creases without breaking a sweat. Whether you’ve got time for a full-on ironing session or need a quick fix with household items, we’ve got you covered.

Pro tip: Always check fabric care labels before trying any of these techniques. The last thing you want is to ruin your favorite shirt in a misguided wrinkle war.

1. Wrinkle Remover Spray

Think of wrinkle remover spray as the lazy person’s secret weapon. A few spritzes, a quick tug, and suddenly your clothes look like they’ve been steamed by a pro.

How to remove wrinkles with fabric spray:

  1. 1. Lay your wrinkled garment on a flat surface or hang it up.
  2. 2. Hold the fabric spray bottle about 6–8 inches away and lightly mist the fabric. Don’t soak it—this isn’t a rainstorm.
  3. 3. Smooth the wrinkles out with your hands by gently pulling and flattening the fabric.
  4. 4. Let it air dry for a few minutes. Voilà—wrinkle-free in no time.

If you want your clothes to smell as amazing as they look, snag a bottle of Laundry Sauce Fabric Refresher Spray. On top of erasing wrinkles, this spray infuses your clothes with luxurious fragrances like Australian Sandalwood, Egyptian Rose, and Italian Bergamot.

2. Ironing

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned iron when you need razor-sharp creases or want to look like you just stepped out of a catalog.

How to remove wrinkles with an iron:

  1. 1. Plug in your iron and set it to the appropriate heat level for your fabric. Durable fabrics like cotton and linen need more heat; delicate fabrics like silk need less).
  2. 2. Lay the garment flat on an ironing board.
  3. 3. Spritz the fabric lightly with water if it’s extra wrinkled.
  4. 4. Glide the iron over the fabric in smooth, even strokes. Don’t press too hard unless you want to leave scorch marks.
  5. 5. Hang or fold the item immediately to keep it wrinkle-free.

Pro Tip: Never iron over stains—heat will set them in, and then you’ve got a whole new problem.

3. Garment Steamer

Steaming is the cool cousin of ironing—gentle, fast, and less likely to leave a burn mark. Great for delicate fabrics and lazy Sundays.

How to remove wrinkles with a garment steamer:

  1. 1. Fill the steamer with water and turn it on. Wait for it to heat up (usually just a couple of minutes).
  2. 2. Hang your garment on a sturdy hanger.
  3. 3. Hold the steamer a few inches away and move it in downward strokes over the fabric.
  4. 4. Let the garment dry for a minute before wearing it.

Pro Tip: Always steam from the inside of delicate fabrics like silk to avoid water spots.

4. Hair Dryer and Damp Cloth

No steamer? No problem. A hair dryer and a damp cloth can work magic in a pinch.

How to remove wrinkles with a hair dryer:

  1. 1. Lay your wrinkled garment on a flat surface.
  2. 2. Dampen a clean cloth and lightly rub it over the wrinkles.
  3. 3. Turn your hair dryer to the highest heat setting and blast the wrinkles from about 2–3 inches away.
  4. 4. Smooth out the fabric with your hands as you go.

Pro Tip: Keep the dryer moving to avoid scorching your clothes or leaving heat marks.

5. Dryer with Ice Cubes

It might sound weird, but trust us—this hack works. The ice melts into steam, which magically smooths out wrinkles.

How to remove wrinkles with ice cubes in the dryer:

  1. 1. Toss the wrinkled garment into the dryer.
  2. 2. Add 2–3 ice cubes into the drum.
  3. 3. Set the dryer on high heat for about 10–15 minutes.
  4. 4. Remove the garment immediately and give it a shake.

Pro Tip: Works best for lighter fabrics. Thick materials might need a double dose.

6. Bathroom Steam

Turn your bathroom into a DIY steam room for your clothes. It’s a low-effort trick that works while you shower.

How to remove wrinkles with bathroom steam

  1. 1. Hang your garment on a hanger in the bathroom, away from direct water.
  2. 2. Close the door and turn the shower on full blast with hot water.
  3. 3. Let the garment hang for 10–15 minutes.
  4. 4. Smooth out any remaining wrinkles with your hands.

7. Water and Fabric Softener

A DIY wrinkle-release spray using water and fabric softener is quick, cheap, and smells amazing.

How to remove wrinkles with water and fabric softener:

  1. 1. Mix one part liquid fabric softener with three parts water in a spray bottle.
  2. 2. Lightly spritz the wrinkled areas.
  3. 3. Pull and smooth the fabric until the wrinkles disappear.
  4. 4. Let it air dry.

You deserve better than a jug of generic fabric softener that smells like “Spring Breeze.” Do your outfits a favor and upgrade to Laundry Sauce Performance Fabric Softener, which fuses science with long-lasting luxury scents.
