Washing machine hack to make clothes wrinkle-free in just 10 minutes

Ironing can leave people feeling a bit steamy as they become overwhelmed by piles of creased clothes.

Everyone tends to look out for ways to make their household chores a bit easier. Luckily, TikTok is a thing and offers many wonderful hacks to make life more simple.

A TikTok account dedicated to educating the public on how to do laundry has detailed a clever hack to get wrinkles out of clothes quickly and easily without an iron. Steam is not required to leave clothes wrinkle-free with this simple hack using ice.

Account @sheetslaundryclub shares "clean tips and hacks" and promotes its "sustainably packaged laundry and cleaning products." It has over 5M views on this latest hack, according to The Express.

It promised the clever trick would get clothes smooth and ready to wear without an iron. It said: "Try this one hack to get steamed clothes without an iron."

The laundry experts said: "When you discover the laundry hack that you can steam your clothes by throwing a couple of ice cubes in the dryer on high for 10 minutes." They went on to provide a demonstration of how to carry out the hack.

They said: "Add wrinkled clothes to your dryer. Get some ice cubes and add two or three cubes to your dryer drum. Set your dryer to the highest heat setting for five to 10 minutes. Pull your clothes out and hang them up to smooth them to cool."

It works because the frozen water in the ice cube is evaporated quickly in the tumble dryer. This creates steam, which gets the wrinkles out of your clothes in just five to 10 minutes.

But some social media users commented with warnings, or extra tips of their own. Reda Izo said: "Carefully y'all. Some clothes can’t handle high heat. They’ll shrink. Check the tag always or y'all gone end up with Mini Mouse's wardrobe."

Another simply said: "Just put the machine into wrinkle release mode and (it) does the same." A third added: "This is a Gen X trick. Throw outfit in with a wet washcloth and a dryer sheet!"
