Try to avoid ironing

. No matter how carefully you store the dress and, as if neatly, do not dry it after washing, small creases and slight bruising on it, most likely, will still appear. If strong creases are not observed, ironing can be avoided using the wonderful property of steam. In this case, it is not necessary to lend an expensive steam generator from friends: at home, steam is easily created with the help of improvised means.

• To begin with, you can hang a dress in the bathroom after you take a hot shower in it. The air after the bath procedures will be filled with soft steam, and, after hanging there for about an hour, the dress will be straightened, and small bruises will be smoothed out.
• More powerful option - leave the dress in the bathroom with a hot bathroom. The folds will be straightened even faster, and to eliminate the bruising at home this is one of the best options.
• If you find not very strong local creases, you can straighten them out under a hotter and more concentrated steam stream that comes from the boiling water in the pan. Just do not bring the cloth to the fire and a hot metal pan, especially if it's synthetics!
• For stronger local jams, you can use a steam jet from a teapot spout, but because of the risk of spoiling the product, the last 2 methods are still undesirable.

This method can be used both with natural fabrics, and with synthetic ones - tulle or organza. The only thing synthetics does not react well to high temperatures, and too hot steam can cause tissue deformation or even melting, providing a real hole! Therefore, it is not recommended to straighten the creases on the tulle over the steam from the teapot spout or under the steam jet directed by the jet.

Tip

You can iron small creases at home without steam: just spray some clean water on the rumpled area of ​​the spray gun and dry it with a hairdryer!

For those who decided to wash the clothes, the scheme remains the same, but two important steps will be added to it: using an air conditioner to prevent strong creases and gentle drying on a hanger in the most straightened state.
