Is there a way to take creases out without ironing?

Dd needs to wear a tshirt for school tomorrow that’s very creased. I don’t own an iron and usually hang up when it’s wet but forgot this time and it looks awful. Anything I can do without rewashing it?

Hang it up in the bathroom with the shower on very hot and the steam will pull the creases out if you pull it a bit too. Then take it off the hanger and give it a big flick while it is slightly damp from the steam.

Hang it in the bathroom on a hanger from the shower rail (outside the curtain) while taking a hot shower so the creases drop?

Or re-wash on a quick 15 min wash and hang on a hanger so it dries over night without the creases.

If you have one, try putting through the tumble dryer for 5 minutes.

Generally works a treat!

Put it in the tumble dryer for 15 minutes with a wet flannel

Can u ask a neighbour to borrow an iron?

I use hair straighteners for the collars of some of my dresses! Mostly wear jumpers over the top and it’s mainly the collar that is nice and on display so a quick run over with straighteners does the trick.
not sure if it would work on something bigger though…

Hair dryer ironing!!! I do it all the time on holiday. Run a damp cloth across your t shirt snd then straighten it out and dry with a hair dryer. Works a treat and done in 5 mins x

I'm absolutely astonished that you don't own an iron! I just can't imagine it. I wear cotton and linen clothes which definitely need ironing. I also iron pillowcases, duvet covers and tablecloths which I know many people don't. I sew as a hobby and make my own curtains, blinds and cushion covers which would be impossible without an iron.

Moral of the story: buy an iron tomorrow!

Another vote for hair straighteners.
