Crease-free clothes without having to iron: a tip for effective dryer use
To always have crease-free clothes, it is necessary to iron them - one of the worst household chores (especially in summer when the heat is already testing us). And even if some modern fabrics and some washing machine washing programs allow us to minimize the worst cases of creasing, there are still some garments that will need ironing.
If you dream of throwing everything you need to iron in the trash, perhaps you are ready to try a remedy. One of these is used in the clothes dryer, and gives truly extraordinary results.
If you have a dryer, you can try this great tip to avoid ironing after drying your laundry: after loading the dryer, drop 3 or 4 ice cubes on top of the load, then start the drying cycle at maximum temperature for 15 minutes.
Thanks to this simple tip, the ice will release water vapor inside the drum, which will allow your garments to "iron themselves" while they dry. In fact, this method exploits the principle of steam ironing and not only allows you to have crease-free clothes at the end of the drying cycle, but also helps to regenerate the fabrics, eliminates any bad smells and sanitizes the laundry.
Many modern washers and dryers already take advantage of this principle, exploiting the numerous properties of steam within their operating programs. In fact, steam can also be introduced in the pre-wash phase or at the beginning of the washing phase, so that it softens dirt and stains, facilitating their removal by the detergent. Thanks to this method, you will gain a double advantage: you will save time and effort on ironing chores, and you will save money by using this power-hungry appliance much less frequently.
