All right, Haley, our iceberg for today. What's your favorite trick for getting

wrinkles out when you don't have an iron handy? Probably get the fabric wet or damp. If I'm traveling

and the place I'm staying doesn't have an iron or maybe I'm being lazy, I like to make sure I

first, I always hang up my clothes immediately on arrival and then if I need to

get some wrinkles out I just get it damp either by hanging it up in the bathroom when I'm taking a

shower or I'll wet my hands and kind of blot my wet hands on the garment and you can take a hairdryer

to it flat iron oh you're taking all my tricks.

Oh, gosh. Yeah, there's lots of little ones, but I'm kind of lazy when it comes to ironing,

so I use all of them frequently. Me too. Yeah, my favorite is the shower trick. I just hang it up in

the shower, let the steam get it, and then if it still has some wrinkles, I will take the hairdryer to it and just kind of stretch out the fabric a little bit.

Try to undo the wrinkles while I apply some heat from the hairdryer.

Yeah, I like the lengths that will go to avoid ironing.

I know.

I really will.

I do not enjoy getting out the ironing board, especially because I have to leave it out while the iron cools and then the cats jump on it and it just becomes a whole thing with the animals.

I used to travel with that iron release spray because it's just like so handy. A lot of times you can find it in like the travel like toiletries section and it can be kind of handy.

But I ran out and never repurchased it.
