Hate ironing? Join the club! These simple shortcuts are instant lifesavers.

<p>There is a very rare breed of superhuman who loves to iron. But if you&rsquo;re like the rest of us and find getting wrinkles out of your clothing a pesky household chore, life is about to get a lot easier.<br> <br>We&rsquo;ve put together our favourite hacks so you can have crease-free clothes without even going near an iron, so you can bin it and your space-eating ironing board for good!</p><h2>The Dryer and Ice Thaw</h2><p>Along with your dry but creased garments, toss a handful of ice cubes into your tumble dryer and turn it on low for 15 minutes. Don&rsquo;t have ice cubes in the freezer? Dampen and toss in a single sock instead with your load. Voilà, beautiful crisp shirts! Don&rsquo;t forget to hang them up at once.</p><p><em>Estimated hack time: 20 minutes</em></p><h2>The Flat Iron Straightener</h2><p>Did you know that long before the hair straightener was invented, women of the ‘60s used household irons to achieve shiny and sleek locks? How&rsquo;s this for continuation, use your hair straightening iron for getting small creases out of collars, hems, cuffs, as well as getting around shirt buttons. Just make sure you&rsquo;ve cleaned your iron&rsquo;s plates first, you don&rsquo;t want any hairstyling products transferring onto your clothes.<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 5 &ndash; 10 minutes</em></p><h2>The Shower Steam</h2><p>Frequent flyers and even celebrities have admitted to using this time-saving trick for fabrics even as fine as silk. Hang your clothes on a hanger in the bathroom while you take a hot shower and let the steam do all the hard work for you. It&rsquo;ll take a good 10 to 15 minutes for folds to come undone, so why not give your hair a wash, too!<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 17 minutes</em></p><h2>The Blow-Dry Blast</h2><p>Whether you&rsquo;re staying at a hotel or in the comfort of your own home, all you need is a splash of water and a hair dryer for this quick spot fix. Remember to hold your blow-dryer five centimetres away from the crumpled spot to avoid overheating the fabric and accidentally causing any nasty burns.<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 5 &ndash; 15 minutes</em></p><h2>The Roll and Crush</h2><p>Do you roll instead of fold your clothes when packing for a getaway so you have crease-free clothing when you reach your destination? Use the same logic here, but stick your clothing under a mattress to speed up the wait time. Easy!<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 1 hour</em></p><h2>The Water Spritz</h2><p>If you have a small but noticeable crumple, but are stuck without any gadgets or tools, this hack will be your saviour. A little water can go a long way, so hang up your item and lightly mist with water before using your hands to delicately stretch out and press down the creases. If you&rsquo;re in a rush, spray one-part white vinegar to three-parts water onto your garment before putting it on to air dry. Now, go about whatever you need to do and you&rsquo;ll be raking in the compliments in no time!<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 20 minutes &ndash; 1 hour</em></p><h2>The Fold/Hang Fix</h2><p>Just as your mum told you when you were younger, if you do it the first time then you won&rsquo;t have to do it again. As soon as your washing machine or dryer goes off, don&rsquo;t let your clothes sit there but smooth out the creases then delicately lay them out to dry or hang/fold them properly. Ta-da! Minimal creases.<br> <br><em>Estimated hack time: 10 minutes</em></p><p><em>Need to update your ironing kit?
