Homemade Wrinkle Releaser

A couple of days ago, my husband had this big red bag in his hands.  I asked him what was in there and he said a couple of suit jackets.  He said he only wore them for about 15 minutes each.  (GONG!)  Helllooo!  Then why are they shoved in a bag? I ask.  He tells me he's taking them to the cleaners.  Uh, okayyyyy.  You wore them for 15 minutes and you're taking them to the cleaners.  Why?  Because they're all wrinkly from being in this bag.  OMG.  Really?!  I snatched that bag right outta his hands and decided to make some homemade wrinkle releaser.  That is, after carefully sniffing the suit jackets to be sure they weren't smelly.  They weren't.  So, here's what you'll need:

1C Water
1T of your favorite Fabric Softener
1 Small Spray Bottle complete with Mr. Yucky drawn on it so your son knows not to spray it in the dog's face.  Not that I ever have that problem.  My child is an angel, ah-hem.

Mix fabric softener and water together in spray bottle.

Give it a shake, then spray on wrinkly garment.  In this case, a suit jacket.

This is what it looked like before de-wrinklifying.  Yes, that's in the dictionary.

Look it up.  Hey, this looks like something a hobo would wear!

As you spray, run your hands down the garment 

to smooth it flat.  It will be all spotty like this.

Be SURE  your garment can get wet before doing this!

And this is what it looks like afterward.  Well, mostly.

I got sick of waiting for it to dry.  It looks saggy because

I kept pulling on it and running my hands down it.

It ended up looking good and smelling even better!  Bonus!

I used only about 1/4 of the bottle.  I'm guessing it cost me less than a dime to do both garments.

Now, that's a LOT cheaper than buying the store-bought stuff and a heckuva lot cheaper than the cleaners!
