How to straighten a shirt without ironing

The shirt is wrinkled and you have no iron at hand. With these tricks you will get rid of the annoying wrinkles in no time.

• Ironing in the shower: Hang the wrinkled shirt on a hanger in the shower. Turn on the hot water. The clothes should not get wet. Close the shower and wait 15 minutes. The hot steam smooths the fabric.
• Dryer and ice cube: Place the crumpled laundry in the dryer with a handful of ice cubes. Let the machine run at a higher temperature for about 15 minutes. The ice cubes dissolve, water vapor is created. It smoothes the wrinkles. Then hang the clothes on hangers or put them on - otherwise new folds will appear.
• Ironing with a hair dryer: put on the crumpled shirt and moisten it directly on the body with a spray bottle. Blow dry it outside and inside. The shirt and the warm air make the shirt nice and smooth.
• Ironing with the textile wrinkle straightener : Textile straightener is available in the drugstore. Hang the still wet clothes on hangers and spray them with the spray; pull into shape and let dry. For sensitive materials (e.g. silk), be sure to test the spray in an inconspicuous area.
• Smooth through good preparation: The shirts don't crumple at all if you take care of them while washing them. Do not spin the laundry too much. Shake the clothes well and hang them on hangers; smooth out and let dry.
