However, among all the tasks there are some that require more time and can be more tricky than others. One of the candidates is usually the task of ironing. The battle against wrinkles is usually long, because we are facing an enemy that does not give up the first time. When you manage to smooth one part of the garment, it is the other side that is revealed.
For this reason, in this article we bring you some useful tips so you don't have to worry about ironing your clothes anymore. Some tricks that will save us time, energy and many headaches.
- Take clothes out of the washing machine as finished. It is highly recommended to remove the clothes from the washing machine once the wash and spin program is finished. Without wasting time. In this way, we will make the clothes sit in a position where wrinkles appear.
In the case of using a dryer, it is preferable to use a delicate program with a not very high temperature, to prevent the clothes from drying out in the machine. If they come out with some humidity it will be easier to save us the back plate.
- Shake the garments as soon as they are removed from the washer or dryer. Before hanging the clothes we have to shake them to eliminate the remains of lint and stretch them to subtract the wrinkles that they have acquired in the washing process.
- Hang the garments respecting their natural shape and well stretched. We must look at the shape of the garment that we are going to hang. We will have to hang it so that it adapts to its basic position so as not to create more wrinkles.
- Hang it according to the type of clothing and fabric. It is not the same to wear jeans as a summer dress or a linen blouse. To do this, we can look at the labels, which sometimes warn us that certain garments are not recommended to be dried hanging on a rope.
- The tweezers, in places that are not noticeable. When placing the tweezers, try to do it in strategic places, where the marks can be hidden or where they will not be created. The seams of clothing are usually a good place. In pants and skirts, the waist may be the best place. Shirts and t-shirts are usually good to hang upside down or on a hanger, which will give the shape of our body.
- The large fabrics are folded. Towels, tablecloths, sheets or blankets should be folded in half. If they are folded in more parts, they will take more marks and it will take longer to dry.
- Do not leave dry clothes hanging. Once the garments are dry, they must be removed to prevent the sun and air from damaging them. The best place to place the clothesline is a place where there is a draft and the clothes are not in direct contact with the sun.
- Store clothes properly. As soon as we remove the clothes from the clothesline, they should be smoothed with the hands on a flat surface and put them in the closet well folded and making sure that there are no wrinkles.
