Toss away your ironing board and iron, ’cause this easy hack will make your clothes wrinkle-free in a few minutes.

Who has time to iron anyway (I certainly don’t!) so I was super excited to learn about this simple and super cheap trick to smooth out your clothes.

This hack has been floating around the internet for years but it’s the first time I’ve tried it and let me tell you….it works!

So here’s what to do:

Simply pop two or three ice cubes in your tumble dryer and dial up the setting on high for a few minutes and hey presto, no more wrinkles.

Many have tried it out and most have given this unconventional method a big thumbs up.

So how does it work?

The ice cubes turn your dryer into a steamer. When the ice melts, the heat of the surrounding air turns the water into steam. This pretty much does the same job of an iron.

However, this really only works with a few articles in the dryer – if you overload the dryer, it won’t work.

It is suggested that you hang up clothes as soon as they are finished in the dryer can also help smooth out the wrinkles without an iron.

Some also suggest using a hairdryer to warm away the wrinkles or wipe down a wrinkly shirt with a damp towel.

Try it and let us know what you think in the comments below.

  • I find that if I’m careful how I hang out clothes on the line and how I remove them from the line I rarely have to iron them.


    • I agree – care with hanging clothes on the line does indeed lessen any need for ironing.

  • I don’t iron ever! Don’t even own an iron. I just hang clothes so they don’t crease. I have a dryer but I don’t think I’d try this.. I have a crease free setting plus I never use it. I think I’ve used it 3 times this year.

  • I don’t have a dryer but I like the idea of the hand dryer. Has anyone has success?

  • I don’t have a dryer and don’t want to have a dryer, although it may be handy it’s a waste of cost & energy & bad for the environment in our opinion.

  • I just use a hanger to dry them and they generally do a good job

  • I feel like you’d get electrocuted?!
    I wish we had a dyer but they are so expensive to run!
    We used to have one at an apartment we lived in and we used it all during winter and the bill was over 500 bucks more that quarter!

  • Interesting. Don’t have a dryer, or an iron.
    I find just putting shirts directly onto hangers to dry works wonders

  • Good trick but I don’t iron, I don’t spin and hang my shirts etc on hanger on the line, when they are dry I just hang them straight into the wardrobe.
