Remove Wrinkles with Ice Cubes in the Dryer
The Problem
Clothes sat in the dryer too long and are wrinkled. You hate ironing but can't wear them creased.
The Hack
Put wrinkled items in the dryer with 3 ice cubes. Run on high heat for 10 minutes.
Why It Works
Ice melts and creates steam as the dryer heats up. The steam relaxes wrinkled fabric fibers, essentially ironing without an iron.
Pro Tips
- Works best with 2-3 items — not a full load
- A damp washcloth works if you don't have ice
- Don't overload — items need room to tumble
- Hang immediately after for wrinkle-free results
