And I’m not talking about the ones on your face, I’m talking about the ones in your clothes. I just finished reading about hanging a blouse in the bathroom while you take a shower and the steam is supposed to relax the fibres enough for the wrinkles to “fall out”. Well, guess what. It didn’t work for me. I still had to go and iron the ….. blouse. And you know how much I love ironing.
Maybe I simply didn’t stay in the shower long enough?? Somebody tell me that this works. If it does, I’m installing a rack in there. I really hate ironing!!

I have done the shower irnoning millions of times, works perfectly! The only tricks are: You have to really fill your bathroom with steam. Which means hot hot water, closed windows and doors.
I usually hang my clothes up, take the shower and after I’m done I leave the water running for a couple of more minutes on hot. Leave it in there for twenty minutes to half an hour.
Works best in winter and with heavier items, which, as they become saturated with steam, pull down with their own weight. Great for jeans, sweaters etc.
Well, you convinced me. I’m going to keep working at it until I MAKE it work. I have one area of the closet that is filling quickly with items that need to be ironed. And, I don’t want to do it!!
