A similar hack I learned to avoid ironing:
Just before hanging them, while they are still wet:
Grab each t-shirt from the top with both hands, then do a couple of violent whip-like movements. This has the same effect of stretching the fabric so that no ironing is needed.

- phyllostachys 11y agoIf you do it right, you can get a nice crack sound. I've found that I can usually get at one from a freshly washed item of clothing (and towels) and it only cracks once per fresh wash. I don't understand the mechanism that causes it but find it satisfying for some reason.

(I agree that is a strangely satisfying thing. It does make hanging the wash up for drying slightly less tedious...)
