A few preventative measures could save you so much time when getting ready.

But what if we told you it doesn’t have to be?

This can result in a load of clothing that looks less than fresh.

Avoid overstuffing the machine, as items need room to move around to properly de-wrinkle, says Yokoji.

Pozniak recommends avoiding the timed dry option and instead using tumble dry cycles that use a sensor.

“This will also help prevent static.

Static can only exist when all moisture is gone from a garment.

Use Dryer Balls

Swap out those disposable dryer sheets for wool or acrylic dryer balls.

This should prevent static and wrinkling, he says.

Then, you might hang these items to dry the rest of the way.

Reshape Your Garments

Even air-dried clothing can wrinkle on a hanger.

But Yokoji tells me this is preventable.

Some garments are just prone to this issue.

If thats the case, Yokoji recommends trying a fabric spray formulated specifically for this purpose.
