1
Place your pants in the dryer for five minutes to remove wrinkles. Place a damp sock and a dryer sheet in the dryer with the pants. The sock dampens the air in the dryer, which helps with wrinkle removal.

Hang your pants in the bathroom close to the shower. Run the hot water until the room is steamy. Close the door and let the pants steam for about 10 minutes. When the 10 minutes are up, help the wrinkle removal process by pulling on each leg of your pants to remove wrinkles. You can also rub a damp cloth on the material and then pull the fabric to remove wrinkles. Let the pants dry completely before wearing them.

Tips & Warnings
At-home steamers also can remove the wrinkles. Hang pants on a hanger. Hold the steamer head lightly against the fabric and move it up and down the pant legs. If the material of your pants is velvet or silk, you should hold the steamer head as close to the fabric as you can without actually touching it.
