Dry Jeans Quickly with an Iron
If you've managed to wash your jeans but forgot to transfer them to the dryer, and you need them right now, there is a quick fix that will take about 15 minutes of your time, using an iron.
Steps
- Take jeans out of washer.
- Wring out any extra water. This method only works if the jeans aren't soaking wet.
- Take a towel, fold it so that it will fit into the leg of your jeans and place it in the leg.
- Turn your iron on the highest heat setting suitable for the jeans. Start to iron.
- Hold and move the iron around a lot. Keep pressing until your jeans brighten up to their normal color.
- Repeat on the other leg. Continue until the jeans are dry enough to wear; any residual dampness will dry off during wearing, provided it's a warm enough day.
Tips
- Jeans can also be dried using a hairdryer. Blow the hot air down the top of the jeans, while holding close the bottom opening of the leg to trap the hot air. The leg will puff up. Repeat with the other leg until dry.
Warnings
- Only put the iron on the highest heat setting the garment can stand.
- Don't wear damp jeans when the weather is cold; you risk getting ill.
