It is not recommended to iron your clothes while they are still inside the dryer. The combination of heat and motion inside the dryer can cause damage to the clothes and potentially create a safety hazard. Here's why:
Safety concerns: Dryers are not designed to be used as ironing surfaces. Placing an iron inside the dryer with clothes could lead to fire hazards or damage to the dryer's components.
Uneven ironing: The dryer's tumbling motion can cause your clothes to move around constantly, making it difficult to achieve a smooth and even ironing surface.
If you have wrinkles in your clothes and don't want to use an ironing board, there are other methods you can try:
Damp towel method: Place a damp (not soaking wet) towel on top of the wrinkled clothes and then tumble dry them again for about 10-15 minutes. The steam from the towel can help reduce the wrinkles.
Hang-drying: Remove the clothes from the dryer while they are still slightly damp, and hang them on hangers or a clothesline. Gravity will help pull out some of the wrinkles.
Wrinkle-release spray: Use a commercial wrinkle-release spray on your clothes. Spray the garment, tug gently on the fabric, and allow it to hang for a few minutes.
Shower steam: Hang your wrinkled clothes in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. The steam from the shower can help relax the fabric and reduce wrinkles.
For more stubborn wrinkles, using a traditional iron or a handheld steamer is the most effective way to get your clothes wrinkle-free. Always follow the instructions on the garment's care label and the iron/steamer manual for the best results.
