Creased gym gear

Options
Hi guys my parter must have left the clothes in the washer a little after the wash as all my gym clothes are creased, is there anything I can do to get rid of the creases I wore them and washed them again but still creased, a few year ago I had a pair of gym clothes that's got creased and I used low heat on iron and it did nothing so turned up bit more and they burned lol, these are mainly Nike so want to take care :)

Thanks

    i use to put them on a hot radiator after washing, but you must open the window a bit or youll get mouldy walls (happend to me)

  • Yes buy an iron and get partner to use it.
    If partner fails, time to change the locks!

    Try re-washing and drying; don't let the clothes fully dry and take out of the dryer, then iron until dry and hang out to cool.


    If this doesn't work you could try a dry cleaners as some will have specialist steamers which can steam out creases, however if the creases have been there a while or the fabric is quite old it may not be possible to get all the creases out. Doesn't hurt to ask though.

    I needed to get some creases out of netting, and in the end I hung it in a steamy bathroom for a while, sprayed it with a little water to help the creases fall out, and ironed on a low heat but with a pillowcase between the iron and the fabric. Perhaps something like that would help?
  • You could get a clean tea towel, place on top of item you wish to iron and iron as normal. You can use quite a high heat on a tea towel. I do this frequently with more delicate items. usually works fine
