Q: I leave for vacation next week. Is there any way to pack so my clothes won’t get wrinkled?
A: You can minimize creases in clothing by rolling instead of folding. Make sure the item is wrinkle free before rolling and smooth out any creases as you go.
Choose material wisely. Cotton blended with nylon, polyester, or lycra is less likely to wrinkle than an item made of 100% cotton, linen, or satin.
Once you reach your destination take your clothing out of your suitcase and hang them up as soon as possible.
If you still have wrinkles and are avoiding ironing, try bringing the item into the bathroom. The steam from your hot shower will allow some of the wrinkles to release.
Got a great tip in from a customer this morning:
“I found a good way to avoid wrinkles while packing is to lay pants half way in and out of the suite case then the shirts the same way. Place the unmentionables in the middle and then fold in the shirts and pants over top. It works really well and you are able to find your outfits easier when you unpack! :)”
