How do you get wrinkles out of "dry clean only" clothing without dry cleaning?

Question

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!

Answer 1

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.

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.

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.

I have washed many dry clean only clothes in the washer on gentle/cold, with woolite, then use a bit of fabric softener in the rinse cycle and put in the drier on gentle for about 30 minutes, take out and hang and shape and air dry the rest of the way. I even did it with mens suit pants and it worked fine. Try it first on one of your least favorite things and see if you get it to work.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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.
