Get wrinkles out of clothing using aluminum foil

Are you having a difficult time getting the wrinkles out of clothing that cannot take direct heating, such as silk, wool or rayon?  There is a little trick you can do.  Try aluminum foil, it has more uses than wrapping leftovers.
Step 1:   Place a piece of aluminum foil on the ironing board.  The piece of aluminum foil should be long enough to cover the clothing.
Step 2:   Lay the clothing flat over the aluminum foil.  Straighten out the garment, so that it is not bunched up in places.
Step 3:   Fill the iron half way with water. If the iron is filled up too much, it has the potential to leak. Press the steam button down and move the iron back and forth 3 or 4 inches above the clothing.  You will need to repeat this several times.
Step 4:    The wet heat emanating from the foil helps to get the wrinkles out!
Warning - do not place the iron directly on the clothing.
