Ironing clothes can be a tedious and challenging task, but with the right tips and tricks, you can make the process quicker and more efficient. Whether you’re someone who irons daily or only when it is necessary, these below mentioned top hacks will help you achieve crisp, wrinkle-free clothes with minimal effort. Read on to discover more! 

Best Ironing Hacks You Must Know

Let’s move on to the 12 best ironing hacks you must know that will help you to save your time and will provide effective results. 

1. Use Aluminum Foil For Faster Ironing

Aluminium is a good conductor of heat. For faster ironing, you can place a sheet of aluminium foil underneath your ironing board cover as the foil reflects heat, allowing both sides of your garment to be ironed simultaneously which reduces time and gives crisp ironing.

2. Iron Clothes When They’re Slightly Damp

If you want to remove wrinkles effectively while ironing then you should try ironing when your clothes are slightly damp as it is easier to mold and press damp fabric than completely dry ones. It also helps in reducing the amount of time you spend on ironing. 

3. Steam for Stubborn Wrinkles

Steam plays an important role in removing creases and wrinkles. Try to pick iron with a built in steam function and if your iron doesn’t have this function then simply hold your iron a few inches away from fabric and spritz it with water before ironing.

4. Use Vinegar for Stubborn Creases

If your clothes have stubborn creases then you must try white vinegar which acts as a natural wrinkle remover. Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a bottle and lightly mist over the wrinkled area before ironing. You can apply this hack especially for tough creases.

5. Invest in a Quality Ironing Board Cover

A quality ironing board cover is very important to ensure uniform distribution of heat. Try to look for one with padding and heat resistant material. 

6. Iron Inside Out for Delicate Fabrics

If you have delicate fabrics to iron like silk and linen, then try to prevent shiny marks from direct heat by always iron fabrics inside out. You can also use a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric which will help protect sensitive materials. 

7. Sort Clothes by Fabric Type

Not every fabric requires the same temperature for ironing. Each one needs different settings as per the fabric So, It is always better to sort your clothes before ironing. Always start with ones which need lowest heat settings like synthetics and move with those which require higher temperatures like cotton and linen.

8. Use a Hair Straightener for Small Areas

Yes, you heard it right. A hair straightener is best for ironing smaller areas of your clothes like collars, cuffs, and pleats. This hack is used especially when you are in a rush to attend a function. So, Simply set it to a medium temperature and gently press the fabric to smooth out specific areas quickly.

9. Hang Clothes Immediately After Ironing

If you are in the habit of ironing your clothes all together for a week, then this hack is especially for you. After ironing your clothes, hang them immediately to prevent wrinkles and if possible, use padded hangers to maintain the shape of the garment. 

10. Ironing in Sections

Ironing in sections helps a lot. Always try to start from the top and work your way down in straight sections. This will ensure you don’t miss any spots and results in a more polished look. 

11. Keep Your Iron Clean

Always keep your iron clean as a dirty iron plate can leave stains on your clothes. To clean your iron, apply a paste of baking soda and water with a soft cloth and wipe it down with a damp towel. For steam iron, use a vinegar and water solution to remove mineral buildup. 

12. Avoid Over-Drying Clothes

Over-dried clothes are harder to iron as they retain stubborn creases. Remove them from the dryer while they’re still slightly damp, and iron them immediately for the best results.

Conclusion

Many of us find ironing a boring and tedious task but with these above-mentioned tips and tricks, you can achieve faster and effective ironing. Whether it’s using aluminium foil to reflect heat on both sides, a hair straightener for small wrinkles, or a homemade wrinkle releasing spray, these hacks will help you keep your clothes looking sharp and crisp with minimal effort.
