A DIY spray product to use to ease your ironing burden

When there's no time and/or it's just too hot, the thought of ironing clothes is unbearable. To get around this, some only iron clothes when it is absolutely essential; then, there are some who have become masters of the art of hanging up clothes in such a way that they don't get (overly) creased and wrinkled.

However, "shortcuts" like these don't always work and we have to turn back to using the iron. But what we could make light work of ironing or reduce the amount we have to do dramatically? To achieve this, you can try using a DIY spray product.

Creativo

There are two different methods to try: one is based on using white vinegar; the other is  based on using hair conditioner.

Both methods/sprays are prepared in a similar way: take a spray bottle, fill it with water (distilled water is best) and then pour in the second ingredient (vinegar or hair conditioner). In the case of vinegar, you can use a tablespoon, then shake well. But if you also want to add a pleasant aroma, add 3 drops of your favorite essential oil. Even if the vinegar spray is very diluted, do not use it delicate fabrics, such as silk. Only use the vinegar-based spray on robust materials (like cotton).

In the case of the hair conditioner - which is already pleasantly scented - a teaspoon will suffice.

Shake well before use and spray on the garment to be ironed (do not soak, only moisten the garment). Then, put the garment on a flat surface - like a table - and slowly stretch the fabric out with your hands. You will make most of the creases disappear this way - and leaving many less for you to iron out!
