No Iron? No Problem!

Some people think ironing is a tedious and unnecessary task, and for those, a laundry expert has shared a hack via TikTok on to get wrinkles out of clothes without using an iron. TikTok account @mommylifesquad shared that putting a few ice cubes in with your clothes when you put a load of laundry into the tumble dryer, adding the cubes at the end of the cycle, will do the trick. “Stop ironing your clothing. When you throw your clothes in the wash, at the last 10 minutes of the cycle, throw in some ice cubes. Now, when you take your clothes out of the dryer, they will be wrinkle-free – no more ironing needed,” the TikToker instructed.

The expert also added that baking soda will “brighten whites and soften towels” and distilled vinegar can be used to “banish dinginess and remove odors and marks.”
