How to roll clothes correctly??

[Sue C.]

We rolled our clothes for our cruise, as suggested on these boards. Well, our clothes were all wrinkled! What did we do wrong??

Thanks,
Sue

Sue, I lay mine out in tissue or plastic sheets, have even cut bin liners, then roll them WITH the tissue/plastic. It traps the air and this, prevents creasing. Keep all your old dry cleaning bags, but as I say, black bin liners, cut up, does the trick too

Hi HollyB...Are your black bin liners equivalent to our black trash/garbage bags? [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

You have trash and garbage ha ha!
Funny, we do use the word garbage but more often say in a sentence like "I am talking a load of garbage!" I would never say "Put it in the garbage [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
Either way, black bags, you got it! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I was sorry to see that your clothes were wrinkled. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] Not good. I just want to reaffirm that I always, always, always roll our clothes and have never had a problem. Also by rolling, you are able to pack a bit more! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] If there are any wrinkles upon arrival, I hang those on the bathroom door and the steam from our showers dissipates any wrinkles right out!

I hope you had a great vacation, tho!
