Have Creases in Your Dress Shirts? Here are 4 (Safe) Ways to Quickly Remove Them

Whether you've just come back from a long trip or your laundry took a while to finish, getting wrinkles out of dress shirts can be an infuriating task.   But don't worry, we're here to help!

Here are four professional methods that can help remove creases quickly - without damaging your clothes.

Method One: Use Actual Hangers

If you have a few extra hangers lying around, use them to get your dress shirts unfolded and hung. The creases will naturally fall out while they're hanging. Make sure to give them enough time though - at least 12 hours is ideal.

Hanger shape is important when choosing a shirt hanger, too.  Look for options that are curved or have a shoulder notch - these will help keep the creases out of your shirts. Butler Luxury offers the best in luxury suit hangers - so shop them first!

Method Two: Put Them in the Freezer

If you're in a hurry, you can use the freezer to remove wrinkles. Just place your dress shirt in a plastic bag and pop it in the freezer for an hour or two. Make sure it's completely dry before you remove the shirt from its bag and take it out of the freezer, though - otherwise there may be condensation inside the creases when they thaw!

Method Three: Use a Steamer

If you have time to spare, use a steamer to get creases out of dress shirts. This is one of the most popular methods because it's relatively quick and doesn't require any special tools or equipment. Just make sure you hold the steamer at least six inches away from your shirt to avoid damaging it.

Method Four: Break Out the Hair Care Products

Mix a few drops of hair conditioner with water in a spray bottle. Shake it up to combine the ingredients, then use your fingers to work the mixture into creases on your shirt.

Keep working until they're gone or until you can't see them anymore - whichever comes first!

Wrinkle Prevention Tips for Professionals

Dress shirts can be a pain to keep wrinkle-free, but with a few simple tips, you can make the process a lot easier.

- Always hang your shirts up as soon as you take them off - don't let them pile up on the floor or in a chair

- Consider the dress shirt fabrics you're purchasing.  Some fabrics crease more easily than others, like cotton and linen. Instead, opt for dress shirts made from modal or silk.

- Don't crease your dress shirts at all while they're hanging in the closet, even if you think it's necessary for them to fold properly. Creases may seem like a good idea initially - but once they set, they can be difficult (and potentially impossible) to remove without damaging your shirt!

While these three tips can help stop wrinkles before they form, there's an even more important step to take. You need to invest in high-quality dress shirt hangers!  Butler Luxury has a wide selection of luxury suit hangers that will keep your dress shirts crease-free and looking sharp.
