Tip 1: Roll your clothes

Reduce wrinkles by rolling your clothes rather than folding them.

Rolling instead of folding your clothes not only prevents wrinkles, but it also saves space. Tuck a Downy April Fresh Dryer Sheet into each suitcase to keep clothes smelling fresh on the road.

Tip 2: Double-bag your liquids

Place the liquids in double lined plastic bags while travelling

No matter how tightly you think the top of that shampoo bottle is screwed on, it’s better to be safe than sorry. While packing, separate your liquids from your clothes by putting liquids in double-lined plastic bags.

Tip 3: Pack an uh-oh tee

How to pack clothes wrinkle free

Traveling with kids? Carry an extra T-shirt for each of them as you take in the sights. Why? Because stains happen, and changing is the quickest fix.

Tip 4: When you don’t have an iron, take a hot shower

Get rid of wrinkles from clothes by placing them in bathroom while taking hot shower

You don’t need an iron to stay wrinkle-free. Simply hang your clothes up in your bathroom while you take a hot shower, and let the steam get rid of unwanted wrinkles. Or try a fabric smoother such as Downy Wrinkle Releaser , which works quickly and leaves a light, fresh scent behind.

Tip 5: Use dry-cleaning bags

Use dry cleanign bags to separate the delicate farics from rough ones while traveling

Dry-cleaning bags can be useful tools when traveling. Use one to separate delicate fabrics from rougher ones. Or use one to keep your sweaters safe from friction that might cause pilling or fuzz. As you near the end of your trip, tie a knot at one end of a bag to use it as a dirty clothes hamper. Smart, huh?
