If you don’t have any Downy Wrinkle Releaser close by or would like to try a homemade alternative, here are some tips for unwrinkling your clothes.

These come in handy while traveling and you forgot to pack your iron.

Homemade Wrinkle Release Spray

Ingredients:

1 tsp fabric softener (liquid)
1 cup water (distilled is best)

Directions:

• Mix the water and the fabric softener together in a small spray bottle, one that has a fine mist spray nozzle.

Use as you would with a commercial wrinkle releaser, spray generously on wrinkled clothing then tug and pull item to smooth. Hang or lay flat to dry (overnight).

*Try a small spot first to make sure this solution won’t stain the fabric.

Alternate Wrinkle Release Tip

Fill a fine nozzled spray bottle with plain water. Spray the clothing item generously then use a hair dryer to blow clothing dry (flatten, straighten clothing item while its drying).

Shower De-Wrinkler Tip

Hang a wrinkled item in the bathroom while you take a shower, the humidity will help pull out the wrinkles. Use a hairdryer to dry smooth if necessary.

Wrinkled Fabric Fiber Content

These techniques work best on poly/cottons or rayon blends. If it’s a 100% cotton clothing item that’s heavily wrinkled, an iron will probably be needed.
