Ironing can be a tedious and time-consuming chore that most people don’t want to be bothered with. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the time to go through bottomless piles of laundry, carefully ironing the wrinkles out. Haters of the tedious task are in luck. Laundry experts Mommy Life Squad revealed that all you have to do is toss a few ice cubes in with your clothes near the end of the dryer cycle. Ice cubes added about 10 minutes before the dryer cycle ends melt in the heat of the dryer, turning the water into steam, and doing the same job your iron would otherwise do. Your dryer is essentially steaming the clothes so they come out wrinkle-free. Countless people on social media have tried the method, with impressive results. Some appliance companies have even included the ice cube trick in their “laundry tips that actually work.” One word of caution: Don’t overfill your dryer when using ice cubes. A couple of shirts or perhaps a shirt and a pair of trousers are good options.
