Ok so I have this wrinkled “dry clean only” clothing. How do you get the wrinkles out without dry cleaning? I’ve tried hanging it in the bathroom while I shower to let the steam smooth out the wrinkles, but that hasn’t really worked. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks!

   Have it professionally dry cleaned. There is a reason the label says ‘dry clean only.’ If you don’t want to take your clothes to a dry cleaner, buy clothes that can be washed at home.

   You hung them in the holder of the shower curtain, close the bathroom door and/or shower door and open the shower´s hot water making sure it does not sprinkle over the clothes. In 10 minutes they should be ironed and ready to wear. Hang them outside undercover in the wind or put them on straight away or they might wrinkle again.

   a few minutes in the dryer…about 3..then hang
   There is a steamer you could use…..there is also a spray that you buy and then just spray and smooth out the wrinkles

   Have you thought of using an iron without steam? Dry clean only clothes are usually synthetic fibers so they work well with chemicals not water. Hanging them in the bathroom includes the effects of steam, which is water, which is not going to help the issue. Try a low setting on the iron and you should do well.

   Either an iron or wrinkle remover spray or a combination of both.

   Downey Wrinkle Reducer. You can use it on dry clean only. You don’t need to use a lot. Or, you can invest in a clothes steamer.

   Ok Dry Cleaning has nothing to do with wrinkles. Only the cleaning part is what the care label is for. There are all kinds of quick tricks to try and get the wrinkles out. Non-work as well as Opt. 1: brake out the old iron. Opt. : 2 take them to the Cleaner. You do not have to have them cleaned ask your cleaner if the have “Press Only” service, usually 50 to 75 percent of what full service would cost (Cleaning and Pressing.) It’s a way to save some money weekly. Most garment come in for the pressing more then the cleaning, customers can’t be bothered cleaning it at home and when they do clean it them self when they get to the wrinkles or ironing they get even more frustrated. To the cleaners they come. Cleaning is the easy part Finishing (Pressing) is the hard part. Hope this could help any questions drop a email.

   Thanks

    Hang in the bathroom while showering. Steam does magic!

    A steamer for clothes, or the steam from a steam iron BUT do not touch the iron to the garment.

    Turn them inside out on a hanger of course and mist them with water and iron them. Have fun.
