If you are tired of ironing clothes or can’t stand doing it in summer, here is a practical trick to say goodbye to creases.
If ironing is not for you or you don’t want to do it but a garment is excessively wrinkled, how to do it? There is a very simple home remedy that can quickly help you say goodbye to creases, even the most obvious ones. Let’s find out together what it is and how to make it.
The iron
It is believed that the iron was invented in the seventeenth century, although the first versions were obviously very different from the current ones. The ancestor of iron as we know it today was made up of a block of metal, usually iron, which was heated directly on the stove or fire. Later, more advanced flat iron models were developed, equipped with wooden handles for ease of use.
Over time, engineers have continued to improve the design of the iron, introducing new materials and technologies to increase efficiency and safety. In the nineteenth century, the first electric irons were developed, which used electric resistances to generate heat.
In the years that followed, the design of the irons was further refined, with the introduction of features such as temperature control and the quick steam release system. Today, modern irons come with various features such as non-stick technology and automatic steaming.
How to avoid ironing clothes
The issue of “ironing”, however, has been increasingly debated lately. On the one hand, there are the iron faithful, who are not intimidated even by the heat and iron their laundry without sparing any fabric, so as to always have smooth clothes.
In the middle there is the most widespread category lately, that of those who iron only the bare essentials both for time-related problems and because they are not interested in ironing towels, for example.
Finally, there is the category of those who have an iron, if they have it, have completely abandoned it, in favor of a less aggressive spin cycle and taking care to hang the laundry well.
In each of these cases, however, it may happen that creases form on clothes and perhaps there is no possibility of using the iron, or simply attaching it to smooth a crease would be a waste. How to solve it then?
As mentioned among the techniques to avoid the use of the iron, everything starts with adequate washing. A spin cycle that is not too powerful helps not to wrinkle clothes excessively and hanging them properly will make things even easier. However, there are fabrics or garments that are impossible not to iron. So let’s see how to remedy it in a simple way with the ingredients you have at home.
Goodbye to creases but without an iron
The procedure that we will see shortly may not be good on some more particular fabrics, so the main advice is to carry out a small test on a part that is not very visible.
The ultimate solution to say goodbye to creases without using an iron is to wet them. That’s right, but not just with water. What you will need, besides water, are white vinegar and hair conditioner.
Pour 400 ml of hot water into a jug, in which you will have to add a tablespoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of hair conditioner. Mix everything well until you get a homogeneous solution. Let cool and then transfer everything into a spray bottle. Close the bottle, shake it and spray the mixture on the folds.
Be careful to moisten the fabric without getting it too wet. Once all the folds have been moistened, take the fabric with both hands and pull it to the sides, as if to widen it. This will allow the fabric to be stretched out by allowing the solution to penetrate. Hang the garment on a hanger and wait for it to dry. You will notice how smooth your garment will be without the need to use an iron.
Once you have made a vora, you can store this solution and use it when needed, remembering to shake well before use.
