How to Get Wrinkles Out of Dry Clean Only Clothes

Clothes that are dry clean only need to be cleaned properly to protect the fabric. Taking the clothes to the dry cleaner each time you need to remove wrinkles can become expensive. Throwing the dry clean only clothes into the washer or dryer to remove the wrinkles can ruin your expensive clothes. Remove the wrinkles at home quickly with heat or steam to keep the clothes wrinkle-free until you can have them pressed professionally.

  Hang the clothes in the bathroom away from the shower so that water does not splash onto the fabric. Leave the clothes in the bathroom while you take a shower to let the steam release the wrinkles.

  Hold a clothing steamer over the dry clean clothes to remove the wrinkles. Most steamers require that you fill them with water and hold them 2 inches away from the clothing. Pull on the fabric when you use the steamer to release the wrinkles. Read the manufacturer's directions that come with the steamer before you use it.

  Place a washcloth over the area of the clothing that you wish to iron. Set the iron to the steam setting and use the least amount of heat as possible. Press the iron down onto the washcloth for five to 10 seconds Avoid sliding the iron to prevent damage to the clothing. Iron the clothing in small sections for best results.

  Turn a hair dryer to the hottest setting. Hold the dryer 2 to 4 inches away from the clothing and apply the heat directly to the wrinkles to release them.
