Agree: Ironing is definitely not our favorite activity. It has to be done with some clothing items, but we don’t enjoy all of them at all. It takes a lot of time, nerves – and electricity costs. We’ll be leaving the ironing board in the closet from now on, because with the four tips below, straightening is a thing of the past.
1. Fewer turns
Setting a lower spin speed (800 rpm is ideal) may help. Because if the number of cycles is reduced, the laundry stays more moist. This allows fabrics to be better shaped as they exit the drum. Also, the wash cycle is more sensitive to textiles!
2. Shake well
A simple tip that works very well: You should shake the clothes well and vigorously before closing. This is how good pieces are shaped and creases “shaken” without further ado.
3. Close it nicely
Correct hanging is also important! Care should be taken to tie the clothes dry, straight and wrinkle-free. It is best to hang the fabrics at the seams with clothespins. So everything can dry slippery. Sufficient distance between different parts is important for them to be well ventilated.
Fabrics should be lifted properly when dry. Because in the closet, good parts can quickly crumple again. It is best to hang delicate fabrics with a clothes hanger, this is the most effective way to prevent creasing in fabrics.
4. Water vapor for emergencies
There are also tools that help immediately if you pull a completely crumpled item out of the closet. For example, steam is said to make laundry smooth again quickly. It is best to hang the affected part on a hanger and then in the shower. Here, set the temperature control to hot and let the water run until steam is formed. If you don’t want to waste water, you can combine steam softening with a shower.
