THREE TIPS FOR KEEPING OUT THE WRINKLES

uRoll, don’t fold. It doesn’t just save space, it can prevent wrinkles. Michelle Weller, a travel agent with Travel Leaders in Houston, says that for maximum effectiveness, you have to pack the right attire. “I buy clothes that don’t wrinkle and roll them up,” she says. Wrinkles don’t have a chance.

uSpray ’em out. Wrinkle-release sprays such as Downy’s Wrinkle Releaser can fix travel-related wrinkles in a pinch. “It works by coating your clothes with a relaxing lubricant that relaxes the fibers, making it easy to smooth it out without an iron,” explains Peter Nguyen, a personal stylist.

u Don’t overpack — or underpack. “Wrinkling is caused when the bag is underpacked or overstuffed, so add or remove items until you have the perfect amount of items to keep the items in place while traveling,” advises Tori Toth, author of the book “Feel at Home: Home Staging Secrets for a Quick and Easy Sell.” When she packs, she groups similar items together and arranges them according to the date or time she needs them to avoid rummaging, which is a leading cause of — you guessed it — wrinkles.
