You could save yourself some time if you get your clothes out of both the washer and the dryer immediately after the cycles finish.

I don't use the dryer except for towels, and I'm generally pretty good about taking them out when they're done washing- can definitely tell when they've sat there a while!

Do you fold your clothes right after taking them out of the dryer, while they're still warm?

I don't use the dryer

Is everyone walking around with crumpled clothes? Or am I missing some critical life hack?

[-] brey1013@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Shake out, hang when wet, never iron again.

Take your clothes out of the washer immediately, untangle them if necessary, and put them in the dryer. Don’t just dump all the clothes from washer to dryer. Remove the clothes from the dryer as soon as it's done while they're still warm. Hang shirts on hangers and put away the pants. Lastly, only buy new shirts and pants that are iron-free.

Honestly most the advice I'm seeing is basically an answer to "how to avoid clothes looking absurdly crinkled" but nothing gets clothes as crinkle-free as an iron. Most people are just content with some crinkles.

Not even iron-free shirts are free from my iron.

I line dry everything but socks n towels. Stuff practically irons itself

[-] thirteene@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ironing is really only required for "dress up" clothing, casual cotton clothing is generally presentable if you wash, machine dry and fold/hang while still warm. You will have a crease and it will resolve itself in a few hours. Polyester blends also come in several utility blends like the stain free, moisture dispersing and wrinkle resistant. I'm realizing reading this thread that some people iron all of their clothing, but in my home we typically only iron our formal occasion attire (rare).
