Smooth, Crisp Cloth Napkins (no Iron Needed!)

As much as I love using cloth napkins, they can be prone to stubborn wrinkles! I don't know about you, but I despise ironing, especially when what I am ironing refuses to get smooth. Like this napkin, for example:

Retrieving napkins straight from the dryer also wasn't working for me because the edges still curled up!
But then I discovered this easy trick to crisp napkins with smooth edges--NO IRONING NEEDED!





Step 1: Wash napkins. Or, if you are trying this trick with clean napkins, run them under some water until they are wet. Wring out all excess water.





Step 2: Toss the napkins in the dryer for 5 minutes. This will loosen the fabric fibers up.





Step 3: Smooth out your napkin and either fold in half or in a triangle or don't fold at all, however you prefer.





Step 4: Hang napkins over a hanger and air dry completely. I stacked mine all on one hanger but you could multiple.





Step 5: Once napkins are all dry, remove and fold once more in the design you prefer. Store in a drawer or shelf where the napkins can lie smooth. And you're done!
