An inventive traveler shared a life hack to keep clothes fresh and wrinkle-free after packing. It's no secret that crumpled and musty clothes after a flight can really spoil the mood of tourists staying in hotels without an iron or washing machine.

No matter how nicely and compactly your clothes are packed, the risk of them losing their magazine-like appearance is always high. This problem is especially acute when travelers are limited in weight and size of luggage. One experienced traveler shared a simple trick to smooth clothes without ironing, as reported by Mirror.

A special mixture that can be made at home and transported in checked baggage will help. To prepare it, you need:

  • Mix fabric softener with alcohol in a 1:1 ratio. Then dilute this mixture with water in a ratio of 1:4.
  • Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
  • Hang up the clothes and spray them well with the mixture until they are damp, but not wet.
  • Smooth out the folds with your hand.

Gravity will smooth and tidy your clothes overnight, and the smell of fabric softener will make them smell fresh.

If you don't have fabric softener, you can use hair conditioner, distilled vinegar, or filtered water.

Travelers are advised to test the mixture on a small area of clothing to make sure it does not discolor it.

As previously reported by TravelWise, there is a packing life hack that will help you take more clothes on the plane.
