Toss ice cubes in your dryer to make laundry day so much easier
Household hacks are a dime a dozen. Some of them are useful and some of them just make for a good picture! One hack, in particular, is sweeping the internet right now and has people swearing by it!
Ironing can take forever and it’s such a hassle.
Whenever you have to iron clothes, it can add an extra fifteen or twenty minutes to your day that you weren’t expecting. If you are running late, this can cause you to get in some serious trouble!
No matter how hard you try, there are always a few spots with wrinkles!
Thankfully, this hack solves all those problems. You probably never would have thought of it either! Putting ice cubes in your dryer is a sure way to stop your wrinkle problems!
Here is how is it works.
An iron creates steam which is then sprays on your clothes. When the heat hits the fabric, it expands and the wrinkles disappear. The same principle works with ice cubes. When you throw in ice cubes, they melt, create steam, and smooth out the fabric.
The hack works wonders but has a few things to note.
In order to get the best results, there are a few things to remember. The first is that this works with already dry clothes. When you are just drying your clothes, it won’t do much to throw in ice since they are already wet. The second is that this works with small loads best. The smaller the load the more concentrated the steam will be.
What can you use this on?
Most shirts and clothing items work with this trick perfectly! It typically doesn’t work as well with thick and heavy fabrics. Thick denim may not work well with this but jeans that have a mix of nylon and are thinner should do just fine.
Well, now that we are on a roll, check out this other dryer hack!
Dryer sheets are disposable cloths that absorb static and leave a fresh scent. The only thing is that they aren’t reusable! You have to buy more every time they run out.
This trick allows you to make your own reusable dryer sheets.
Super cheap and effective, these “sheets” work for months and many think they work better than the name brand ones!
Directions:
- Take a bunch of sponges and cut them in half.
- After cutting them in half, add them to an equal mixture of water and fabric softener.
- Keep them in a container that can be sealed and reopened.
- When needing one, simply grab a sponge, squeeze out the extra liquid, and throw in the dryer!
- When the load finishes, throw it back in the container.
These reusable sheets last for quite a while and can be used multiple times.
