      Fold your clothes immediately after drying, while they are still warm. Also, dryers that can add steam really help if you’ve got a few things that need wrinkle removal. Also, handheld steamers are cheap.

      Mostly, avoid needing to iron by avoiding wearing formal business attire.

      The imperfections in the creases mirror my own uniqueness and imperfections

      why do wrinkly clothes matter in the least? who gives a flying fuck about it?

      do you polish your shoes too? i personally don’t want to feel like a ken doll

      Don’t use the dryer on shirts and the like. Shake them a bit then hang them up to dry and let gravity do the work.

        Don’t shake them too hard or they stretch. But hang everything absofuckinglutely immediately after they’re outta the washer or dryer. Like rn.

        Why? Clothes need thermal treatment to kill bacteria and other shit.

          Well that’s the washing part. Hell, most people I know don’t have a dryer nor anywhere to put one.
