How to Get Rid of Wrinkles on Your Pants

Unwrinkle your pants in no time.

Wrinkled pants can ruin anyone's day. Whether the wrinkled pants were left in the dryer overnight, unpacked out of an overstuffed suitcase or just picked up off the floor, it is relatively simple to get rid of wrinkles on your pants. With a few simple tricks that are easy to do at home, you can get rid of the wrinkles on your pants in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Iron
• Steamer
• Damp towel

Instructions

1. Turn the pants inside out and run a hot iron quickly over the entire front and back of the pants. Ironing the pants inside out will prevent them from getting shiny or damaged due to high heat. An ironing board is helpful in this case, but you can also iron the pants on a flat surface, using a towel to protect it.

2. Hang the pants on a pants hanger upside down on a shower rod. Run a hot shower and let the steam slowly attack the wrinkles on the pants.

3. Toss the wrinkled pants -- along with a damp towel -- in a dryer on high heat for about 10 minutes.

4. Steam the wrinkled pants with a clothing steamer or steam wand.

5. Run a damp washcloth over the wrinkled pants and then blow dry them. This is perfect if you are in a place with no access to an iron or a steamer.
