I'm a laundry expert - here's my free trick for removing wrinkles from your clothes without using an iron

Ironing can be a tedious and time-consuming chore that most Britons just want to get over and done with.

We don't always have the time to go through bottomless piles of laundry, carefully steaming the creases out of our clothes.

However, haters of the dull task are in luck as cleaning experts have revealed a hack for removing wrinkles quickly that could save bags of time - and it only requires one free household item.

The American family TikTok account @mommylifesquad, first shared the clever trick back in 2022, claiming it will 'save you a lot of time'. 

All you have to do is put a few ice cubes in with your clothes when you put your load of laundry into the tumble dryer, adding them right at the end of the cycle.

The TikTokers told viewers: 'Stop ironing your clothing. When you throw your clothes in the wash, at the last 10 minutes of the cycle, throw in some ice cubes. 

'Now, when you take your clothes out of the dryer, they will be wrinkle-free - no more ironing needed.' 

They finished the clip by showing off a freshly washed shirt that had no creases.

The TikTokers clarified in a comment that the ice cubes should be added 10 minutes towards the end of the tumble dryer cycle as opposed to the washing machine.

The UK-based electrical retailer AO also included the ice cube trick in their TikTok video about 'laundry tips that actually work'.

They instructed: 'Throw a couple of cubes in your dryer for 10 minutes to steam your clothes.'

On top of this, the experts advised using baking soda to 'brighten whites and soften towels' and using distilled white vinegar to 'banish dinginess and remove odours and marks'.

Countless people online have tested out the unusual ice cube method, with some achieving impressive results.

The ice melts in the heat of the dryer and is turned into water and then steam, therefore doing the same job your iron otherwise would - your dryer is essentially steaming the clothes so that they're wrinkle-free.

But, advice online recommends you do not overfill the dryer when using ice cubes. Something like a couple of shirts or perhaps a shirt and a pair of trousers are good options.

And, not everyone swears by the unusual method - some people have claimed it doesn't work, and others have even warned against it.

One person in the TikTok comments advised: 'I did try this but I have a better solution. For work and school shirts, put them in on their own on a hot cycle for about 25 minutes, then put the other stuff in after.'

Another simply said: 'If you take them out the dryer when the dryers finished and you put them away, they won’t be wrinkled.'

Disappointed, a third added: 'This did not work for me. I’ve tried it several times.' 

The tip comes just after a cleaning expert revealed her solution to getting your air fryer looking spotless that takes little effort and means you don't have to do any scrubbing at all.

Foodies with an air fryer will know that one of the only downsides to the efficient and useful cooking device is having to take the time to clean it.

It can often involve some serious elbow grease and effort to get the remains of your food all cleaned off the inside.

In a video by the TikTok cleaning duo, the Wee Scotty Cleaners, one half of the pair filmed a step-by-step tutorial of how she got her air fryer looking squeaky clean after using it to cook some bacon.
