I try and try to do laundry and not have wrinkled clothing. I just can't seem to do it. What do I need to do other than buying different "blends" or ironing. There has got to be a way to have a T-shirt or a pair of jeans that doesn't need to be ironed!

Use a fabric softener like a bounce or downey sheet in your dryer with your clothes. Be careful not to overload your dryer as this could cause your wrinkles. Turn your dryer on Permanent Press as a hot dryer will cause wrinkles. Hang and fold your clothes as soon as the dryer goes off. This should help you with your wrinkled clothes....

Simple, stop putting so many items of clothing into each wash load. If the clothes don't keep getting pulled down through the center of the washer, so they reach the bottom, and go past the agitator, they aren't getting all that clean, anyways.
Wrinkles can start in the washer by overloading, and then putting too many clothes into the dryer makes them wrinkled because they are too crammed in to fully move around. Once you've started doing smaller loads, instead of overloading the washer and the dryer, it's important to get to your clothes the instant the dryer has stopped. Take the clothes out as fast as you can, and fold or hang them. That's the best way to prevent wrinkles. If you let them wait until they're cooled off and then take them out, the wrinkles are already set in.

Take your laundry out of the dryer before it has completely dried and hang the items on hangers. If you dry the clothes too long wrinkles set in. You can also use some fabric softener in the rinse cycle.

Don't turn up the dryer's heat too high...use the "Permanent Press" setting if your dryer has one.
Don't overload the dryer.
Some dryers have a "Cool Down" cycle at the end of the drying cycle. Cooling down after drying, with the tub still rotating, helps to minimize wrinkles.

Make sure that you don't overload your dryer, that will caude wrinkles everytime. Also be sure to let the load go through the cool down cycle as this removes wrinkles. Last, remove the clothes promptly, letting them sit in the dryer will also ause wrinkles. Hope this helps.

I no longer buy 100% cotton items. I used to and I hated it! I had to iron everything! Now, I check the tag and buy synthetic materials like polyester, rayon or cotton with spandex. I take the clothes out of the dryer before it stops and hang each item quickly. Good luck!

Simple. Don't "stuff" your washing machine. The main cause of wrinkles in modern, high-tech machines and today's super-blended fabrics is stuffing your washing machine. If the clothes are not moving freely over and around, instead of back and forth, your machine is crowded.

use a sheet of "Bounce" in the dryer. 1 sheet for each load.
take clothes out when still warm, and hang or fold before they have time to cool. Hanging allows the wrinkles to 'fall " out.

use downy softener in the wash and always shake the items before hanging up. also try the dryer option that fluffs up clothes.

I don't dry them all the way so when they come out they are hung and they dry the rest of the way hanging and I seem to have good luck with that
