easy way to take out wrinkles from a cotton bedspread w/o ironing it?

Anonymous
We're getting ready to stage our house for a photoshoot to sell our house. Our cotton bedspread (comforter cover) is all wrinkled, and it takes forever to iron the entire thing. Any easy alternatives to getting the wrinkles out?

How do you usually wash and dry it?

You mean a duvet. I normally take my duvet out of the dryer when it's 85% dry. Then I put it on the bed, smooth out all the wrinkles. When it's slightly damp, the wrinkles come out easier. Then I use a clothes steamer and get it perfect. You can also iron directly on the bed if there's a bad wrinkle.

Put it in the dryer with a damp towel.

Thanks! Yes, a duvet, I knew there was a better word for it. I had no idea that wrinkles come out easier when something is slightly damp!

Iron it ON the bed, just take the iron, turn the steam up, and run the iron over it lightly as it lays.

The slightly damp works for all clothes. I take all of our dress shirts, polos and dresses out before they get completely dry. Then I hang them up quickly. You can always smooth wrinkles easier.
