Time Saving Alternatives to Clothes Ironing

There are many risks associated with the ironing your clothes including heat damage to more sensitive forms of fabric, fading of fabrics, and the time it takes to iron just one piece of clothing in order to get the seams and creases just right and the wrinkles out. Here are some handy time saving tips for using the power of heat as a highly viable alternative to ironing your clothing.

The greatest alternative to ironing your clothing is heat. Although the heat from an iron causes risk of damage to fabric, there are many other useful ways you can utilize heat to keep the wrinkles out of your clothing, and to ensure that your slacks hold their crease.

The greatest method for using heat as an alternative to ironing is to take advantage of steam. Many people take a shower before they get dressed to go to work, school, church or even play. Hot showers generate a lot of heat which fills the entire bathroom and fogs up the mirror. Use this steam to your advantage. Hang your wrinkled shirts and pants on the towel rack, on the back of the door, or near the mirror and let them catch the steam from the hot running water of your shower. The heat will remove the wrinkles and also any odor from the clothing which may have been caused by hanging in the closet. After steaming your clothing, spray on a little spray starch or a homemade solution of corn starch and water. Your clothing will smell fresh and resist wrinkles.
