1. Use a flat iron to get rid of wrinkles on a collar.
Pull the garment tight and run the straightener along the length of it a couple of times. Move fast so you don’t burn your clothes. This also works great on cuffs and hems — basically any edge.
2. Make some wrinkle release spray with fabric softener.

3. Fix wrinkled clothes with ice cubes.
4. Mist wrinkles and then throw the clothes in the dryer.
5. Toss thicker wrinkled clothes in the dryer with a wet towel.
PRO TIP: Don’t use a towel with dark threads — they could rub off in the dryer, and you’ll end up with fuzzy clothes instead of wrinkly ones.
6. Throw a wet sock in the dryer for thinner clothes that are wrinkled.
7. Place a damp towel over clothes to help get rid of wrinkles.
8. Hang wrinkled clothes in the bathroom while taking a shower.
9. Blow dry the wrinkles away.
PRO TIP: Smooth the crease with your hand while you blow dry. This is how to get rid of wrinkles while still ensuring a smooth finish.
10. Use the steam from a tea kettle to get rid of wrinkles.
TIP: Hold clothes about 12 inches away from the kettle’s steam so you don’t damage it or get a steam burn (I speak from experience).
11. Get rid of wrinkles with the bottom of a heated pot.
PRO TIP: If you’re trying to smooth out really delicate material, try putting a thin towel between the pot and the garment to keep it protected.
12. Use a damp dryer sheet to get wrinkles out of clothes while you freshen things up.

13. Take clothes out of the dryer before they’re fully dry to smooth out wrinkles.
TIP: Make sure you don’t hang them directly in the closet — they won’t lose their wrinkles and they’ll smell like mildew.
14. Remove clothes from the dryer immediately and hang them before wrinkles can even happen.
15. Place a heavy book on the wrinkled area.
