Lol it’s exactly as it sounds. Get a sock wet and toss it in the dryer with whatever you need ironed and it comes out with no wrinkles in a bit. Probably just the steam + heat combo idk

I just did it with dress shirts whenever I needed to but maybe there’s a reason not to I’m no expert

How long does the drier need to be on?

And if I do this with dry clothes, will the result be same or better than when I pull dry clothes that I have had washed before?

Ya it works with clothes that haven’t been washed recently if that’s what you’re asking

Mix a small amount of fabric softener with water in a spray bottle (like 1:10 ratio). You can watch the wrinkles fall out. Can toss it in the dryer for a minute if it’s too wet to wear, but you only need a tiny amount of the spray. It’s essentially the same as the wrinkle release spray downy makes but much cheaper since it’s just watered down fabric softener.

No it will definitely work with a shirt that hasn’t been washed recently. I had to dress up for sports every week in high school and never used an ironing board. That’s the point of the wet sock.

It will be about the same as if you pulled the clothes immediately from the dryer as it finishes and hung them up immediately

Oh I’m a notch down from the sock- I turn on my shower and wave the clothes through the water stream and toss them in the dryer- the moisture + heat gets wrinkles right out and it only takes about 15 min
