I have created my own formula for "wrinkle releaser" for my dryer delays. I often don't get to the dryer when it calls me so when I remove the clothing I use this spray to release the wrinkles.
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup liquid clothes softener*
or just use a 1:3 ratio for your size container.

*I buy the cheapest and someone has posted a recipe for making your own softener.

Mix well and pour into a spray bottle and when removing the wrinkled clothing from your dryer, hang the item and spray generously on all sides; not necessary to soak 'em though. Shake the item well and in a few seconds the wrinkles disappear! Much better than the name brand stuff and LOTS cheaper. (I even use it when traveling as I take my wrinkled clothing out of my suitcase.)

I have used it on every type of material -- denim, cotton (even silk -- but test before using on something precious)!

I use wrinkle releaser very often~everyday as a matter of fact. I purchased a spray bottle, about 12 oz. and put 1 tablespoon of inexpensive hair conditioner and shake it up well. Works very well.

I have seen other recipes that just use water and fabric softener. Why the vinegar and does the fabric softener scent cover the vinegar smell?

I love this idea, having said that...there are some liquid fabric softeners that have stained clothes going through the softening rinse, and one I will not use again. This lady's formula may have changed that with the vinegar and water, but I would caution, try it on something you don't care about first.

I've been using the same 'Downy' spray bottle for awhile, just add a capful of liquid softener to the empty bottle, add warm water to the top, shake lightly to mix. Works well!

This is an excellent suggestion - one I intend to try. Wrinkled clothing is the bane of my life! Ha! Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
