I TRIED THIS METHOD FOR DRYING CLOTHES AND GETTING WRINKLES OUT OF  CLOTHES IT WORK LIKE A CHARM, I TOLD MY DAUGHTERS ABOUT THIS METHOD THAT ARE IN COLLEGE NOW THEY TOLD THEIR FRIENDS AND THEIR FRIENDS AND SO ON THIS IS A LIFE SAVER THANKS FOR THE POINTERS AND THANKS VOCAL POINT!

By Rainyday on 11/30/2009 9:13:43 AM

Throw in a new dryer sheet, spray a few pumps of water, from a spray bottle. ( Or do what, I do. I make my own, Air freshener spray,  it really saves alot of money too.). You pour some fabric softener into an empty spray bottle, fill w/water, add small amount of rubbing alcohol, mix, spray and volia, you have just save yourself, about $6-7.00.  I use mine all over the house.  I try & keep one next to the dryer as well!  It also works well, not only for wrinkles, clothes left in the dryer,& to freshen up something that has been hanging in the closet. Put clothing in the dryer spray, 2 times & run the dryer for 10 minutes, nice & fresh, no more wrinkles!

By Karen on 11/17/2009 12:23:09 PM

My problem is I keep forgetting them until it's time to wear them.  How would you fix that?  LOL  

By Shawna on 11/8/2009 2:14:36 AM

Thats a great idea. I use a spray bottle. A finished spray bottle of a cleaner is fine. Rinse and fill with water. Sit on top of dryer and when clothes are forgotten, open dryer and spray once or twice depending on the size of load. Turn dryer back on for about five min. Works great.

THANKS DEEENA

By Rainyday on 10/29/2009 3:46:18 AM

I TRIED IT AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM INSTEAD OF ME IRONING MY HUBBY SHIRT THAT GOT LEFT IN THE DRYER I JUST THREW THAT DAMP TOWEL IN  AND IN 10 MINUTES IT WAS MAGIC THANKS ALOT!

By Rainyday on 10/29/2009 3:42:56 AM

When this happens to me, I put in a wet wipe and turn the dryer on for about 10 minutes.  Wrinkles are all gone.

By Nancy on 10/28/2009 1:13:48 PM

I always leave mine in the washer, so I rerun the rinse cycle and put in some fabric softener.  It works good for me.  When I leave them in the dryer I just rerun the dryer for ten minutes and that works for me, although I'll try the dishtowel trick to see if it works better.

By Julie on 10/26/2009 8:32:05 AM

That's good to know.  I usually wake up to find that my work clothes are still in the dryer from the night before and look like a donkey has been chewing on them.I will try the dishrag thing and see how that works for me.  Thank you

By Tiffany on 10/25/2009 6:24:21 PM

I have done this for quite a while, and it really does work!  This is how my daughter, age 15, chooses to "iron" her clothes before wearing them.  Since there usually only one or two items, she throws it in for about five minutes!

By Julie on 10/23/2009 12:54:48 PM

The same idea works very well when you take stored clothes out for the season.  Sometimes, I put the clothes in without the damp towel; setting the dryer on low, just adding a little heat and air seems to get some wrinkles out too.  If you have items which are not supposed to go in the dryer, set the dryer on No Heat; the tumbling with air works just fine (think shaking a pillow to plump it up).

By Monica A. on 10/22/2009 3:46:06 PM

This little tip also works on Sunday morning when your running late for Church. I put our Church clothes in with a damp towel and a fabric softener sheet to de-wrinkle them. Works great and the smell fresh too.

By Sherry on 10/20/2009 9:11:42 PM

What I do incase I forget my cloths in the dryer and they are to hang I have a sink in my laundry room and I keep a small bottle that I bought at walmart used to mist hair for 59 cents I mist the cloths and make sure to toss them around a bit and within 10 minutes they are dry and wrinkle free!

By Katie on 10/15/2009 12:47:57 PM

I tried this with my husbands uniforms and I have to say this tip SUCKS!!  None of the wrinkles came out. I had better luck just turning the dryer on for 25mins. All the wrinkles came out then..

By Summer on 10/14/2009 5:14:14 PM

I just spritz a few sprays from a water-filled spray bottle into the dryer & reset for 5 min. Everything comes out wrinkle-free.

By Marlene on 10/14/2009 3:07:39 PM

This is such a great tip.  I found your tip about the dishtowel works better than a washcloth which is what I used to use.  I am guessing it holds more moisture than a wash cloth.

By Kim on 10/13/2009 9:50:23 PM

thanks for that tip I have a 10 month old and I'm always too busy with him and all the housework and I do forget my clothes in the dryer all the time.

By Debra on 10/13/2009 8:56:10 AM

I do this with a saftener sheet.  It works great.

By PATRICIA on 10/11/2009 6:30:05 AM

Thanks Deena thats a great tip! kim wallace

By Kimberly on 10/8/2009 5:17:14 AM

thanks

By Kate on 10/7/2009 8:38:04 PM

Thanks for the tip!

By Trina on 10/7/2009 5:15:46 PM

do i start the dryer

By Carla on 10/7/2009 2:27:31 PM

This is a good tip but the way it's written is off-putting. "Single ladies" are mostly housewives? Huh? Just submit the tip straight - don't try so hard to jazz it up.

By Cynthia on 10/7/2009 1:51:57 PM

well crap, if you run the dryer another 20-30 they wont be wrinkled anyways, sheesh

By PENNY on 10/7/2009 8:11:13 AM

Works great, I have been doing it for years .

By MELISSA on 10/6/2009 11:59:04 PM

We are not all "housewives" that do that.  Everyone gets so busy it is easy to forget!

By Maggie on 10/6/2009 11:21:05 PM

This tip works i have used this for years

By Terri on 10/5/2009 3:31:48 PM

This happens every weekend, when I am trying to multitask - vacuum, dishes, laundry, working outside in the yard, catching up on work from the week, grocery shopping.....

By Joyce on 10/4/2009 1:36:56 PM

Wow, what a great idea.  Thanks for letting me know because I almost always leave clothes in the dryer because I always seem to get busy doing other things or I have to leave or I fall asleep (I usually do laundry in the middle of the night when I can't sleep).  Thanks again, I will definitely be using this one!

By Lynn on 10/3/2009 9:18:34 PM

If you forget clothes in the washing machine, that smell stays sometimes, even after rewashing it regularly.  But if you rewash it and add a cup of white vinegar to the load along with the soap, it removes the odor.  And it won't smell like vinegar at all.  It also works for used clothes you buy that smell like weird colognes.

By EDWINA on 10/3/2009 4:20:55 PM

Thanks for the useful tip! I will be trying it out soon. I am sure. LOL

By Joni on 10/2/2009 4:02:09 PM

I just put the load on permenapress o bein with and the are mo wrinkles to begin with.  This drys the clothes on high and slowly drys them them cooly.  So the are no wrings to begin with.!

By Katherine on 10/2/2009 2:59:23 AM

Instant wrinkle remover products (downy) work great but, a WORD OF WARNING, I tried one of the instant wrinkle remover products (plain label) before putting clothes in the dryer, they came out with bleach type spots ruined!!  These do not work wet in the dryer!

By STACY on 10/1/2009 9:25:41 PM

I also had forgottten clothes in the washer, now when this happens I use the second rinse option with some fabric softner and everything comes out smelling great!

By STACY on 10/1/2009 9:21:42 PM

I've had to do this several times,and it does really work well.  Anyone who still hangs their cloths outside: when you bring them in, throw them in the dryer on air dry for 10 to 15 minutes and it will take most of the stiffness out of them. You still have the great smell and a softer feel.

By Darla on 10/1/2009 7:22:19 PM

I use this idea myself and it works... I love it!!!

By Liz on 10/1/2009 2:27:11 PM

Amazing!!!!! I think your a life saver.  I never thought about doing this, but I guarantee I will be trying it very soon. Thanks for the tip!

By Stephanie on 10/1/2009 2:16:25 PM

THANKS FOR THE TIP I WILL TRY THAt!

By Rainyday on 10/1/2009 1:32:57 PM

I often forget about the clothes in the dryer to, this is a good idea and I will be trying this soon. Thanks for the tip.

By Patricia on 10/1/2009 11:22:46 AM

I did this last night actually.  But it was for a top I wanted to wear out for dinner. Took it from the closet and it was all wrinkled.  I had a sweater that had the same problem. I just put a wet washcloth in the dryer with them and they came out perfectly! I even put in a fabric softener sheet to make them smell nice. :)I got the idea from a coworker. :) 

By Tamala on 10/1/2009 9:40:12 AM

This is what I do all the time!  You can still take care of other stuff while this is working... you can't really do anything else while you are ironing :)

By Rebecca on 10/1/2009 9:21:48 AM

I have actually taught all 3 of my teenage sons this same trick!! I figure that in a few years when they are all away to college that this will be put to good use!!

By Crystal on 10/1/2009 8:52:05 AM

I've done this and it works. 

By Ramona on 10/1/2009 8:36:28 AM

I do that all the time,it really works! I guess I should pay more attention to my clothes. I also put half of a dryer sheet in with the damp towel to give it a extra burst of freshness. Try it,this trick really works great!

By Joan on 10/1/2009 8:24:31 AM

My trouble is forgetting them in the washer. Then I have to rewash to get out the smell!

By Julie on 10/1/2009 8:21:59 AM

Thanks for that tip...this happens too frequently in my housedhold!

By Cassandra on 10/1/2009 7:34:14 AM

Thanks for the tip i will be giveing that one a try.

By Cathy on 10/1/2009 6:32:55 AM

I`ll have to try this ! I have been wetting all the clothes again or I end up ironing everything .

By Nina on 10/1/2009 6:17:37 AM

Thanks for the tip!

By Cathy on 10/1/2009 1:37:27 AM

Yes, that does work quite well.

By Vonzy on 10/1/2009 12:44:32 AM

Love this idea. I will be trying it very soon!

By Sandy on 10/1/2009 12:41:51 AM
