There are several alternatives to an ironing board that can be used to press clothes: -A towel or blanket can be placed on a hard surface such as a countertop or floor and the clothes can be pressed against it. -A cotton T-shirt can be used as an ironing pad. The shirt should be dampened with water and then wrung out before being placed over the clothing that needs to be pressed. The hot iron can be moved over the shirt to press the clothes. -A steam iron can be used to pressing clothes without an ironing board. The steam will smooth out the fabric and remove wrinkles. -A garment steamer can be used to remove wrinkles from clothing. The steamer emits a stream of hot water vapor that relaxes the fibers in the fabric and removes wrinkles.
