3 Ice Cubes to the Rescue for Wrinkle-Free Clothes

Pop 2-3 ice cubes into the dryer, select a high setting, and let it run for about 5 minutes. You’ll be amazed at how fresh and crisp your clothes come out. This trick works for shirts, t-shirts, pants, and even dresses!

Adding ice cubes to the washing machine leaves clothes smelling great and wrinkle-free.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use ice cubes, try tossing a damp towel into the dryer. The heat from the dryer combined with the moisture from the towel will smooth out any creases in your garments. Just remember to hang your clothes up as soon as the dryer finishes for the best results.

White Vinegar for Fresher, Softer, and Wrinkle-Free Clothes

Don’t have a dryer or a washer-dryer combo? No problem! White vinegar is your new best friend. It can help brighten your clothes, act as a fabric softener, and reduce wrinkles.

Here’s how: Mix vinegar and water in a 1:3 ratio, pour it into a spray bottle, and spritz it onto wrinkled areas. Let it dry, and voilà! No more wrinkles.

Perk Up Faded Black Clothes with Coffee or Black Tea

There’s nothing more frustrating than your favorite black outfit losing its vibrancy. It could be due to improper washing or incorrect dyeing techniques. But worry not! Simply pour coffee or black tea into your washing machine.

One of my favorite tricks is pouring coffee into the washing machine (Image: Internet)

Brew a strong 500ml of coffee or black tea and pour it directly into the washer during the rinse cycle, right after your black clothes have been washed.

Coffee and black tea act as natural dyes, enhancing and preserving the richness of black fabric. They’ll give your outfit that extra boost of darkness and intensity.

Now you can wear black without worrying about it fading. (Image: wikihow)
