THE CLAIM
Very few people claim to like ironing (or have the time for it). JumbleJoy offers a solution to your ironing woes using just ice cubes and your dryer.
THE TEST
We all know that steam can remove wrinkles. Hence our irons have the "steam button," and clothing steamers are becoming a common household item. You know how fresh loads of laundry come out with relatively few wrinkles? Wet clothes + hot dryer = steam.
Guinea Pig Jenna gave this method a try with some khaki shorts. Because she did a few pairs of shorts (as opposed to just one item, as in the video) she gave it a little more time than 5 minutes. The result? It worked well! She did comment that it was loud for the first few minutes (as the ice cubes rattled around the dryer).
Guinea Pig Karen, inspired by Guinea Pig Jenna's success, also gave this a try. This time, though, she simply added a damp (not sopping wet) washcloth to the dryer. Equally successful without the noise. Her blazer came out perfect.
Other popular suggestions include using a frozen sponge (-though we suspect a damp sponge would work just as well-) or hanging up the item in your steamy bathroom while you shower. Regardless of the method you use, you can count on this one to work if you need to de-wrinkle something in a hurry.
CONCLUSION
Thumbs up! Just be careful about what fabrics you put in the dryer. If you wouldn't put it in the dryer as part of normal clothing maintenance, don't try using this method here.
