Ironing is such a time consuming and physically demanding activity that we welcome any helpful help. Some have completely abandoned ironing and consist of dryers, while others make full use of the dryer. But even this does not guarantee a 100% result. We will advise you on how to make ironing easier.
The dryer is an indispensable helper
Putting your laundry in the washing machine, ironing it in the laundry basket, hanging it in the laundry basket on the dryer, stowing it out of the dryer, and then ironing it and folding it back in the closet seems like very drudgery, and above all, futile work. You can make it easier for yourself several times. First, start using the dryer.
Most laundry will be ready to put away in the closet as soon as it is taken out of the dryer, and this will be much quicker than putting it in the dryer. But the problem is that not everything can go in the dryer and the second problem is that some things need care even after drying.
Help yourself with an ice cube
Dry with ice. It may seem strange, but the dryer is much more efficient when drying with the help of hot steam. As soon as you put your laundry in the dryer, throw a few ice cubes in it. They will gradually melt and create steam inside the dryer.
Don’t worry, the ice cubes won’t damage your dryer and your clothes will be completely dry, just like any other day. However, steam straightens all items of clothing much better. Ice cubes will work fine if the dryer isn’t filled to the brim, so put much less laundry in the drum to dry with ice. At the same time, do not forget about the auxiliary balls for the dryer, which scramble the laundry during drying.
You can use an upright steam iron to help you iron your shirts. The shirt is simply placed on a hanger in the rack and the hot steam does its thing.
You can also dry your shoes in the dryer
The dryer is not just an aid for drying clothes. If you take the laces out of your sports shoes, you can also dry them. A good tip is to dry together with towels or blankets. The shoes hit the walls of the drum while drying and such drying is really disturbing, especially at night.
