Creased clothes from your suitcase

We have just been away for a few days and one top of mine came out of the case quite creased.


I have never done this before, but thought I would try a tip I read many years ago from an air hostess.


Hang creased clothes on hangers and hang up in bathroom on say the towel rails.


Turn on shower to hot and close the door. Leave for a short while till the room is filled with hot steam. Turn off shower.


Leave items in there till they have cooled down and dried.


This works amazingly well. My top had lost all the creases.

    I roll, rather than fold, so never have any problem with creased clothes :)
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    I always pack my clothes on their hangers, and whilst on the wardrobe rail. Just raise a bin bag over to cover them and tie it around the hangers. Fold the clothes once or twice to fit in the case, and the air trapped in the bin bag keeps them crease free.

    I don't take clothing that creases - I am on holiday after all!

    I dress down to look like I'm not worth mugging or scamming.
    A few creases help my cause.:beer:

    I am interested in this rolling thing...off to investigate...I don't think I own clothes that don't crease. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
