"No one's got time to iron anymore," he explained in the video. "I'm going to show you the fastest way to unwrinkle a T-shirt."
The key is using a proper atomizer spray bottle that creates an ultra-fine mist. "Don't use a regular spray bottle — the mist isn't fine enough and you'll get wet spots," he said.
The video instructs viewers to mist the wrinkled garment lightly all around, avoiding any oversaturation. For deep wrinkles, smooth the fabric or give it a gentle tug. For stubborn creases, add a single drop of fabric softener or hair conditioner to the water.

This time-saving trick eliminates the need to set up and use an ironing board and wait for the iron to heat up, perfect for busy mornings or travel situations.
