There is an old housewife trick on how to quickly wrinkle tablecloths without an iron: put the tablecloth on the table, spray it with water from a spray bottle, smooth the fabric with your hands, and then pull it hard so that it stretches. Wrinkles and creases in the tablecloth will naturally disappear as it dries.
This trick is handy even if you don’t regularly host events that require linen tablecloths. It’s easier to know when to apply the same technique to the things most of us use regularly: duvets, sheets, and pillowcases.
If you love the look of ironed sheets but hate ironing, this technology will change the way you make your bed—literally.
Instead of spending a lot of time and effort ironing or steaming a wrinkled duvet cover, simply place it on your bed, spray it with water from a spray bottle, and pull it tight. As with tablecloths, wrinkles automatically disappear from the fabric when the duvet cover dries. Trigger sprayers are best suited for spraying large areas of fabric.
Sleeping sheets will also benefit from this slight misting. With just a few sprays, deeply wrinkled pillowcases look like they’ve just been stroked while you sleep.
All you have to do is tap water and a spray bottle, but fragrance lovers can add the fragrance of their choice. Essential oils are often used to add fragrance to laundry water; DIY laundry sprays are also a great way to get rid of perfume samples.
Ready-made laundry sprays are also available in a variety of fragrances. Lavender is popular for its relaxing properties and can be used in bedding. No matter which fragrance you choose, the scented laundry spray does double duty: it smooths out wrinkles and gives your sheets a very light fragrance that refreshes them between washes.
