    Default Getting out wrinkles in dryer

    Just ran across this, thought it was worth a try!

    Put wrinkled clothes in dryer, turn on hottest setting and throw in a couple ice cubes. It will make steam in dryer and take out wrinkles!

    Neat idea, my dryer has a steam option. It is really nice.

    I've used fabric softener sheets and a wet wash cloth
    gotta try the ice cube trick.

    I use the wet wash cloth method as well. My washer and freezer are on different floors!

    "Getting out wrinkles in dryer"...... My first thought, isn't this a rather uncomfortable and drastic method to deal with a life issue we all have??

    Silly me!!

    I have a water bottle on my shelf. I just spritz the dryer sheet. Toss back in and go.

    I take the wrinkles out of Hobbs tightly packaged batting by putting it unfolded in a dryer with damp towels.

    My sister's dryer automatically spritzes clothing thrown for a wrinkle release session. It caught me off guard as I had only planned to dry a shirt for a few minutes but then had to let it go for about 20 to get it dry again
