4 tips for not ironing anymore + 1 for ironing without effort.

If you have also thought many times that you do not want to iron, anymore, you are in good company. From more or less serious movements for the abolition of ironing activities, to social profiles dedicated to spreading the "no-iron" philosophy, to articles explaining how ironing is an unsustainable activity from an environmental point of view, the issue seems to be very important among web users. Even fashion runways in recent years have celebrated wrinkled fabrics.

In this article you will discover how to reduce the time and energy you use for ironing: we will give you some advice on how to iron less but above all we will show you the best way to iron in the least strenuous way possible with a vertical iron. We are sure that in the end you will choose this option, a great compromise for those who have decided not to iron but do not want to give up a tidy and well-kept appearance.

  1. Wash sustainably -To avoid wearing out fabrics and prevent fibers from being too wrinkled, adopting softer washing habits can be more ecological: prefer short washes, at a maximum of 40°, with a spin cycle not exceeding 800 rpm, preferably without overfilling the drum and without using too much detergent.
  2. Soften the fabric- As soon as the washing machine is finished, immediately remove the clothes and start working the fabric with your hands to soften and stretch the fibers. Beat the garments several times, pull the hems and seams of skirts and pants, spread out the insides of the pockets well, and roll up the towels.
  3. Use the dryer - Use the appropriate program that allows you to store the garments directly in the wardrobe after drying: in general, using the dryer allows to soften the fabrics and not iron, as long as the laundry is removed while still warm and folded immediately, smoothing it out with the hands on a hard surface.
  4. Lay out in the right way - Use some tricks to hang out laundry in order to minimize wrinkles. Avoid clothespins, which could leave marks on the fabric, use hangers for t-shirts and shirts, hang skirts and pants from the waist and spread out the sheets. If you have chosen wool, always lay it horizontally to prevent it from deforming and, when you store it, choose a "wide" fold that allows you to crease it as little as possible.
  5. Switch to the vertical iron –Completely stopping ironing is not the only way to save time and effort: invest in a vertical iron and you will discover that you can have organized garments in just a few moments by giving up the ironing board forever.
