How to Get Wrinkle Free Sheets (The Secret Trick Granny Taught Us)

Everybody loves a crispy-clean sheets situation. But laboring over the bed, hot iron in hand? Not exactly our idea of a good time. So we're borrowing a trick from our grannies and under-drying them to achieve the same effect. 

Step 1. Wash your sheets in the washing machine as normal

Fun fact, this gets rid of all excess water during the spin cycle.

Step 2. Pop them in the dryer

For no more than 15 minutes (sometimes less, depending on your model).

Step 3. Remove the Sheets While They're Still Damp

The sheets should feel damp to touch when you take them out.

Step 4. Make the Bed as Usual

Pull the corners taut and smooth out any wrinkles with the palm of your hand.

Step 5. Let Them Air Dry

Give the sheets 15 minutes to fully dry without making the rest of the bed and voilà: the crispiest sheets in the universe.

We paid a visit to Homepolish designer Tina Rich's gorgeous apartment to take this trick for a spin and were not disappointed. (And her camera-happy puppy Bruce made the shoot that much better.)
