I always follow these tips for virtually crease proof clothes without going near an iron! 1) Get stuff out of the washing machine asap. 2) Give all items a massive 'crack' or 2 (a single very strong shake). 3) Hang VERY precisely on the line/ airer. 4) Hang shirts on hangers - again, VERY precisely. 5) When dry, fold very neatly before putting in airing cupboard/ drawers etc. If you're really really careful, this will also work on linen clothing! Le voila! Crease-free clothes and an extra hour or 2 of life!!
