Jeans Getting Wrinkled in the Dryer

My husband used to be a fanatic about creases in his jeans. His trick was to fold them with creases before he put them into the dryer. Once they were mostly dry he made sure the creases were how he wanted them and put them on a pants hanger. Good luck.

Return them! if you didn't take them out of the dryer and toss 'em in a corner or drawer. I never iron Levis or jeans, I just take them out of the dryer, lay them on a flat surface and 'wipe the wrinkles' out of them and then fold them without s'mushing them. Leave the folds 'rounded'. Then hang them in the closet on a pants hanger.

Along with the other suggestions, you might try spraying them with Downy Wrinkle Release after you take them out of the dryer. Just be sure to follow the directions about smoothing the item after spraying. You may have to do it more than once.

Often it is a sign your washer was overstuffed, and your dryer too hot.

I am in agreement with most of the others. Leave them in the dryer long enough to get the wrinkles out, but take them out while still damp and hang on a pants hanger. Be sure the seams match and finger press to remove wrinkles. If they are too stiff after air drying throw them in the dryer for about 10 minutes with the tennis balls or a damp item as a t-shirt or hand towel and take out immediately. Do not leave them in the dryer.

After washing, I always straighten the jeans out as best as I can and then set them in the dryer that way. I have found that really helps eliminate if not minimize the wrinkles.

Try washing & drying them again. Wash in a load that gives items room to agitate. Before putting them in the dryer, stretch & shape them to get the wrinkles out. Tumble dry with a few tennis balls. Dry for 10 minutes, then check them to see if they need to be stretched/shaped again. Take them out when they are partially dry, clip them to a trouser/skirt hanger and let them finish air drying.

Make sure the washer & dryer are not overstuffed with other clothes as that contributes to wrinkling.

When I dry any clothes I only put them in the dryer until the wrinkles are out and I take them out wet and hang them on hangers until they are dry. I haven't ironed anything for about 20 years.

Anytime I put my boyfriend's jeans in the dryer, no matter how small the load, the jeans always come out of the dryer horribly wrinkled.
