Modern people have to deal with various types of documents almost every day.

But no one is immune from an absurd accident, and sometimes, to your horror, you may notice that the piece of paper is badly wrinkled.

Fortunately, straightening a sheet of paper is no more difficult than crumpling it. To do this, you need to do the following.

First, lightly moisten a sheet of paper with clean water. Important: it is better to use distilled liquid, since tap water contains various impurities.

It will be easier for you to spray water if you fill a spray bottle with it and spray the liquid from a distance of 40 cm. Another option is to wet the sheet by smoothing it with a slightly damp sponge.

Please note: to prevent the paint from smudging, it is better to wet the paper from the back side.

After this, try to straighten the sheet with your hands, and then place it between paper napkins or pieces of fabric that absorb water well.

All that remains is to cover the document with a press, for which you can use, for example, books, and wait 10-12 hours.

If the creases do not want to be removed, replace the napkins and send the paper under the press again. The maximum time for straightening in this way is 4 days.
