Bed clothes misting mystery

Can anyone tell me if they have heard of this and if so how do you do it?
I have a friend who has a cleaner who also works in hotels, my friend says her cleaner never irons the bed clothes but somehow mists them when they are on the bed and they look fantastic.
I have asked for more details but they have not been forthcoming and now I feel I cannot ask any more!!
Anyone out there who can enlighten me I hate ironing bedclothes

It sounds like they could be using a steamer? You can run the steamer over a made bed and it would get the creases out although it might be a bit damp afterwards. Otherwise steam the sheets whilst they're hanging up and then let them air a little before putting on the duvet etc.

No idea though I understand putting things on slightly damp helps. But kudos to you I never iron anything let alone sheets!

Found this: www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/cleaning-tips/a6299/how-to-smooth-wrinkled-sheets/
Seems to be a combination of using a water spray and then smoothing/tucking bedclothes in to remove wrinkles. Who knew?!

I suppose I should have thought of that myself googling I mean.
I'm trying it tomorrow for sure

My DD doesn't own an iron. I asked her how everything stays looking so nice.......... she has a small amount of fabric softener in a spray bottle topped up with water. Just mist it on and smooth over. Works!

Diluted fabric softner in a spray bottle, it also works on clothes. Spray and smooth with hand.

Life is too short for ironing bedding. The only time I have ever done it was when I was selling a house.

I think bedding looks better with creases. ( that look ironed iyswim)

It’s all about the folding, then pop it on the radiator for a few hours.
