You all know how much I hate ironing, but sometimes, ya just gotta make it happen. Here’s a super quick little cleaning hack that will get your wrinkled shirts looking spiffy in a jiffy!
Yes, that IS a straightening iron!
How to Cheat at Ironing:
If you just have one shirt that needs a little bit of love, you don’t need to drag out your ironing board & spend twenty minutes making it look perfect. Just grab your little straightening iron & focus on cleaning up the worst parts!
- Use a little bit of wrinkle spray to get the worst of it if it’s really rough
- Make sure there isn’t any hair product on the iron
- Smooth out the most noticeable details (collar, button, etc.)
- Feel like a genius & conquer the rest of your day!
BONUS: I like to save even more time by using this trick on days when I straighten my hair since the iron is already hot!
How do you “cheat” on your cleaning routines??
Brilliant! I can do my hair AND my clothes at the same time. Love it!

Thanks, Annie!! I love it, too!
If you are worried about hair product on the flat iron, make little sleeves from cotton fabric and slip over the ends. Then you have a little ironing cloth, protect those clothes just in case.
Smart idea!! Thanks, Carol!
This is a day late. I needed this tip this morning. Oh but I plan to use it in the future.
Lol too funny, Kris!! You travel so much — I can see you getting one of those little flat irons that plug into the car & straightening your collar at red lights. Like a BOSS.
I had to comment on this, because I totally did this today! It worked like a charm. Beats the heck out of busting out the iron and board!
