We've all engaged in it. Even though we tried our best, we were unable to fold our clothing as soon as they were removed from the dryer. Now, two days later, your apparel is a rumpled mess. However, you might want to grab some ice before getting out your iron.
To remove creases from your clothing, add ice to your dryer and run a new cycle
Although the method behind this
laundry hack may seem strange at first, it makes sense when you think about it. When you place ice in the dryer and put on the heat right away, the ice will practically turn your dryer's heat into steam. Heat and wetness both help to remove wrinkles.

You only need a small number of ice cubes for this to work; do not overdo it and re-wet your clothes. Additionally, you should simply run a brief cycle rather than completely re-drying your material.
While we acknowledge that using ice in your dryer may seem like a crazy trick, it is actually quite similar to another widely used technique: using a damp towel. You dab (not soak) a fresh towel with water. After that, put it in the laundry. The towel will produce steam, just like the ice, which will cause the wrinkles to disappear.
If you unintentionally leave your laundry in the dryer too long, don't worry. Get some ice, then start drying. Have no time for that? Look at these more wrinkle-removing suggestions.
