I am one of those people who actually enjoys doing laundry.

I find it strangely calming and satisfying.

What I don’t enjoy is what sometimes comes after ironing.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The dent the hanger creates dries right along with your pants and almost seems to get baked in.

Even if you end up ironing afterward, the imprint still remains.

Here’s how I combatted unsightly creases and you could, too!

This is where the elusive pool noodle comes in and works its unsuspecting magic.

I used a pair of sharp scissors for this part and it worked perfectly.

Once you’ve done that, you’re good to start enjoying this marvelous hack.

The roundness of the pool noodle makes it perfect fordryingitems you don’t want to crease.
