You can steam wrinkles from a jacket and trousers by hanging them in the bathroom when you shower. But you’ll still need an iron to get a crease in your pants.

You can also steam wrinkles out of a jacket with a cheap steamer available anywhere online.

Use distilled water in your iron and steamer.
