Ironing clothes is a pretty common chore. However, if your iron is broken or you don’t know how to use one to straighten your clothes, you can try these two quick and easy ways to make a fabric-straightening solution that we share below!
1 Vinegar and Conditioner Solution
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
-
1 tablespoon of vinegar
-
1 tablespoon of hair conditioner
-
2 cups of water
-
A spray bottle
Instructions
Mix the vinegar, hair conditioner, and water in a cup and stir well. Then, pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
When using, lightly shake the bottle and spray the solution onto the wrinkled clothes. Gently pull and smooth out the fabric, then hang the clothes to dry.
Within just 5 minutes, the wrinkles will be gone, and only a subtle scent of conditioner will remain as the vinegar odor dissipates.
2 Fabric Softener and Alcohol Solution
If you don’t want to use vinegar and hair conditioner, try the method described below.
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon of fabric softener
-
1 tablespoon of alcohol (or white rum)
-
5 tablespoons of water
-
A spray bottle
Instructions
Mix the fabric softener, alcohol, and water according to the given ratio and stir well until the ingredients are fully combined. Then, pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
When using, lightly shake the bottle to mix the ingredients, and then spray the solution onto the wrinkled areas of your clothes. Hang the clothes in a well-ventilated area to dry.
If you want them to dry faster, you can hang them in front of a fan or air conditioner, or use a hairdryer. Once dry, the wrinkles will be gone.

3 Ways to Quickly Dry Clothes
In addition, if you want to quickly dry your clothes, try the following methods.
Using an Iron
The quickest way to dry clothes is by using an iron. The heat from the iron will rapidly remove moisture from your garments. You can also add a few drops of essential oil before ironing to leave your clothes smelling fresh and pleasant!
Using a Towel
This method involves using a towel to absorb moisture from your clothes before hanging them to dry. Simply wrap the towel around the wet garment and squeeze gently but firmly. The towel will soak up a lot of the water, helping your clothes dry faster.
Using an Air Conditioner
You can also use your air conditioner to quickly dry your clothes. Set the air conditioner to dehumidify mode and keep the temperature the same as or slightly lower than the outdoor temperature. Let it run for about an hour at the automatic fan setting. Then, switch the air conditioner to heating mode, set the temperature to the highest setting, and turn the fan speed to maximum. Your clothes should be completely dry in 1-2 hours.
