I don’t waste time ironing my linen clothes – my free hack makes wrinkles drop in seconds & it’s perfect for travel
LINEN clothes are having a moment – especially now the weather has been hotter lately.
But one of their major drawbacks can be the amount they crease, but one woman has shared a free, easy hack that gets rid of any wrinkles.
TikTok user Rach uploaded a video showing off a gorgeous pink linen shirt that she was wearing with a pair of shorts.
On her @hey.im.rach account, she wrote: “Incase your mum didn’t teach you.
“You can lightly spray linen clothes with water to get the wrinkles out.”
Rach explained she uses a spray bottle of “just water” although she added that she sometimes includes “essential oils to make it smell nice but you don’t need to do that.”
After spritzing her top, the creases fell out leaving it looking like it had been ironed.
Rach added: “Yes. I am super behind on laundry. That’s why I love linen clothes!
“I can pull them out of the huge pile of laundry, spray them down and look put together in no time.”
The linen trick could also be perfect if you are on holiday and don’t have access to an iron.
Her video has racked up 33,000 likes, and people seemed impressed at the hack.
One person wrote: “You just saved my European summer.”
Another added: “did this today.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “Wrinkle release spray is the best way to go.”
We previously shared how a woman got her bed linen looking crease-free in just seconds.
Posting on the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Hinch Army, the woman explained how she used fabric conditioner and water in a spray bottle to achieve crease-free sheets.
The woman admitted she had found the hack online and was excited to share the results.
“Someone, not sure if was this group, had tried fabric conditioner and a bit of water in spray bottle on bedding to release creases. [I’m] sure you will agree, [it] looks better.”
She used a ratio of one capful of fabric conditioner to three capfuls of water and mixed the solution up in a spray bottle.
After stretching the sheets over the bed, the woman then spritzed them with the mix and left them to dry out, losing their creases in the process.
Another woman suggested that people could use white vinegar and essential oils in place of fabric softener.
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda’s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury’s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it’s good quality too – with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
The trick has been shared online after the popular £2.50 Lenor Crease Release spray took shoppers by storm earlier this year.
But as we told you previously, the product has been a hit online, with some people re-selling it on eBay for up to £10.
Other Mrs Hinch fans flocked to the post, admitting they too have used the clever crease-busting trick.
One woman wrote: “I do this on my curtains & bedding it works amazing! I also stuff dryer sheets inside my sofa cushions and bed cushions (the ones I take off at night). Keeps it smelling fresh for ages.”
Another added: “It’s so good, I’ve been doing this for years.”
