How do you "unwrinkle" clothes?

[CouponMom]

Leaving on Liberty a week from today :D

Ironed my clothes before I packed them in the suitcase, but with the flying, etc I KNOW they will be wrinkled. We can't take irons - how do you "unwrinkle" your clothes?!

It works better than the Downy Brand. It really is almost "magic"!!

First roll your cloths and not fold. Cuts down on wrinkles and packs better, (old flight attendant trick). Hang in the bathroom while you shower to help steam them out.

You can pick up a small travel steamer and that works well too. And finally odds are your not going to see most these people again so don't worry too much about a couple wrinkles. Enjoy your trip..

Sometimes we hang them in the bathroom and turn on the hot water. That will sometimes steam the wrinkles out. Sometimes I just spray water on them and let them dry. That usually causes the wrinkles to come out. Some people use that spray. I can't remember the name of it now but I find that it is no better than just using water in a spray bottle.

 

Hope this helps. It is so nice when the ship has a self-serve laundry. Then we just put them in the dryer.

Hairdryer or if really bad we send them out for pressing.

 

Plastic from the dry leaner helps as well... We use a lot of them.

When it comes to wrinkle-free packing, your best friend is plastic. Yes, as in the bags in which we send your dry cleaning and laundry home. That’s because friction causes wrinkling and the plastic bags help reduce friction. If you have hanger items, pack each one in individual bags. Use more bags in between layers of clothing. You’ll be amazed what great shape your clothes will be in when you arrive at your destination.

We bring wrinkle release. Works great for t-shirts and other light fabric items. I have also tried rolling my clothes. And we've also done nothing and just worn the slightly wrinkled clothes. We didnt get any weird looks or comments so I assume no one noticed/cared that our clothes might have had a few wrinkles. :D

Pack with dry cleaner bags; hang in hot shower; wear me a little rumpled like everybody else if need be. We also use the packing folders from eagle creek, they work like magic.

We will use the dry cleaner plastic as it does help...

Also turn on all the hot water faucets in the bathroom put clothes in and:

 

1. Let the water run HOT for 10-15 min
   
2. have an adult beverage while waiting
   
3. Turn water off
   
4. Let steam for a while 15-20 min
   

Seems to work, you may have to pull the shower curtain back to help steam up the place.

I usually put formal clothes and hang in the bathroom so it can steam. Honestly i always bring my iron lol. I have heard other people saying that theirs was taken but mine has never been taken haha. I probably jinxed myself now :eek:

Same here! Roll, and shower steam. Although I do have a little travel iron I pack too.

[kitt82078]

Also have used the flat iron for my hair on low. Works pretty good!

[donnad08]

I use Melalucca (not sure if I spelled that right) wrinkle release. It is awesome! Works much better than Downy IMO. Only problem is you have to be a part of their "club" to order it :-(

I brought wrinkle release that I'd poured into a small disposable spray bottle.

[Shela]

Mix 1 part downy to 10 parts water and put in a small spray bottle. Works every time.

Yes, you will now have wrinkled clothes on your next cruise! LOL...

 

No one really cares if your clothes are wrinkled; they are thinking the same thing. Other than sending your "formal" wear out wrinkled shorts/capris/khakis/t-shirts are perfectly acceptable.

I bring a Wife... she can do anything!

LOL...you crack me up! :D For me, that is what the laundry service is for. I am on vacation, so I send it out to be pressed.

I unpack and put away the clothes that go in the drawers and hang the rest and when I want to wear them I just put them on and away I go. Honestly, who cares if I have wrinkles...seriously.

I do what I can. :)

[cb at sea]

First...don't pack a week in advance! Once they are "packed", the wrinkles start! Pack the day before, and unpack as soon as you can. Tees/shorts...who cares? A wrinkle or crease here or there won't show after 10 mins. in the humidity! If formal wear is horribly wrinkled, the ship will press them for you (for a fee)....I've never had our formal wear to wrinkle...I pack that in dry-cleaning bags, so the material can "slide"...wrinkles don't set that way!

[luvscruising2007]

We use a hanging garment bag for our formal wear. I put a dry cleaning bag around each item. I don't fold it up until we are about to walk out of the door. When I pack our other dinner clothes, I layer clothes, dry cleaning bag. Our dry cleaner had 2 sizes, long and short, so I go an purchase 5 of each, runs a couple of dollars. Never have noticed wrinkles.

The other important thing is to hang your clothes immediately when you get your luggage. It all helps.

[Ehpride]

I either use a hot shower or wrinkle release spray. It's so easy and much cheaper to make yourself though. The humidity tends to take care of the wrinkles in anything cotton anyway :)

I have a combination travel iron/steamer which works great if I'm on a ship that doesn't have a do-it-yourself laundry. I roll my clothes instead of folding them so they really don't wrinkle much. I'm going to try some "Magic Wrinkle Remover" from WalMart that one of the posters mentioned here on my next cruise.:D

[092306]

I try to roll things and use wrinkle release. I keep elegant wear in dry cleaner bags and that seems to help. Never had to iron or have anything pressed luckily.

[alyssab333]

I use the irons in the self serve launderette area. They're free!
