Two Easy Recipes for Wrinkle Release Anti-Static Spray—Cheap, Easy

Unlike myself, not everyone I know loves to iron. I guess I’m just crazy that way. There’s just something soothing about the sound of a good burst of steam, the smell of clean, and then instant results. But enough about me.

For most people, ironing is the worst. So when the makers of Downy laundry softeners came out with a wrinkle releaser spray touted also to be a static guard, odor eliminator, iron-in-a-bottle—we were thrilled. And I was first in line to give it a try.

Downy Wrinkle Release is a clever product that you spray on dry clothing, smooth and stretch the material a little bit, then allow to dry as the wrinkles disappear.

While Downy Wrinkle Release Fabric Spray works well for non-ironers to remove wrinkles well enough, mostly I love the subtle fragrance.

Over the years, this spray has become quite pricey. And for what? While Procter and Gamble is quite secretive with the exact ingredients, it’s easy to figure out that it is mostly water.

Here are two options for making your own wrinkle-release spray for only pennies!

Copycat Downy Wrinkle Release

You will need:

• 2 cups distilled or bottled water
• 2 tablespoons Downy liquid fabric softener (or any brand)
• 16-oz. spray bottle

Directions

Combine water and fabric softener in a 16-oz spray bottle. Swirl to mix.

To use

Test a small portion of fabric before spraying the entire garment. Hang the item on a hanger and spray in a sweeping motion until all wrinkles on the front and back are slightly damp. Do this from about 6 inches away from the garment. Trickier fabrics such as linens and other more resistant situations may need two applications.

Holding by the hanger, whip the item back a forth a few times. Rehang. Tug and smooth out the wrinkles. Allow hanging freely for a few minutes or until completely dry before moving to the closet or wearing the item.
