Help me settle a debate. My wife believes that holding a shirt by its shoulders and whip snapping (I don’t know the verb to describe it) it before hanging it gets wrinkles out.
I feel it’s a meaningless ritual and a waste of time. Whether I do it or not, I don’t perceive any difference. The weight of the shirt itself flattens any wrinkles as it hangs.
Is there any evidence (scientific or otherwise) that whip snapping laundry does anything?
While I do not know if it helps with wrinkles, snapping clothes does help unroll curled up sleeves or pockets or other bits and bobs that get caught up in the machine, so I agree (with her) that it is a useful step.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, but this is after if comes out of the washing machine and before it’s hanged.
EDIT: Wait, never mind. I get what you mean now.
