Throw 3 ice cubes in the washing machine: you can’t imagine what happens to the laundry

The steam generated by the melted ice, when it comes into contact with heat, will practically give your clothes perfect wrinkles. The ice cube method is really ingenious. We recommend that you test it in both the dryer and the washing machine for effective results.

However, follow other tips for amazing laundry as well. Here’s what experienced stay-at-home moms have to say:

  • Never use detergents that are too aggressive< because they can end up damaging the textile fibers of your clothes;
  • Separate and wash the colored cloths and the white cloths in two separate washes;
  • Always read the washing labels on all garments carefully before putting them in the washing machine;
  • Try replacing detergent and harsh fabric softeners with natural products such as vinegar, baking soda, or lemon.

If you follow all our advice, you won’t have any more problems. Your clothes will be clean and scented after each wash and, in addition, perfectly ironed. If you want to know other techniques to avoid ironing, read on: we also have more tips for you.

For example, you might think about hanging out your laundry when you’re showering. Why? Simple: the steam escaping from the open hot water will keep your clothes from wrinkling or bending.

Again, you can wet your wrinkled clothes with a little water and put them out to dry on a radiator or near a heat source. Wrinkles will disappear in a few minutes.

The last remedy we propose is a very old method also used by our grandmothers and consists of placing wrinkled clothes on a pot containing boiling water: here too wrinkles will disappear.

If, on the other hand, you can use the dryer and want to dry your towels, the ice cube method is once again extraordinary. Experts recommend putting one ice cube in the dryer for delicate towels, two for dark towels, and three for colored towels.

If your problem is not only related to the washing and drying of clothes but also to the smell that disappears immediately after washing, here we also have the solution to your problem. Pour 5 drops of lemon or lavender essential oil into the fabric softener tray and your clothes will smell good for days.
