Pack Clothes To Avoid Wrinkles

Most people want the most out of their vacation and don't want to spend lots of time unpacking and ironing all their vacation clothes. It can be a bit tricky to get all those outfits in your suitcase without pulling them out in a wrinkled mess. However, it is possible to cut down on your ironing time and spend more time relaxing on your trip.


Instructions


1. Fold your clothes appropriately. This may sound like an elementary way to keep clothes wrinkle free when you pull them out of your suitcase, but there is something to be said for not just throwing your clothes into your travel bag. Experts suggest using tips from your local retail store and folding your clothes into slim piles, ironing them before you pack.


2. Roll your clothes up. This not only helps keep clothes from wrinkling, but also gives you more room in your suitcase. Everyone has their own preference on how they want to roll clothes up, but it really is an easy solution. Simply fold your item in half and roll.


3. Use the right suitcase. If you pack suits and dresses, use a hanging luggage set instead of bunching them up and trying to fit them in a smaller, box suitcase. Many suit sized luggage pieces are designed to fold in half to take up less space, as well keep the middle of your garments looking pressed.


4. Folding your clothes all at once is another step you can take to keep things looking fresh for your travels. Laying clothes out flat and placing different items on top of that pile creates one standard pile for you to pack and will make fewer wrinkles for each garment.


5. Put your clothes in plastic before packing up. Whether you use a garbage bag, plastic from the cleaners or something you've purchased from the store to keep your clothes wrinkle-free, simply pack your clothes in the plastic. Do this after you've ironed your clothes and before you put them in your suitcase.
