I found a great tip in Working Mother Magazine a few weeks back and decided to test out the effectiveness. I happen to get Working Mother Magazine because it was a free subscription. Even though I don't "work" outside of the home, I am certainly a "working mother" (24/7)!!
Do you hate ironing as much as I do?
I do love doing laundry. Freak of nature, I know. But, I hate ironing.
I read a tip about how to get the wrinkles out without ironing and gave it a try last night.
TIP: Mix 1 tsp. fabric softener with 1 cup water and spray wrinkles away
Here is the before shirt (I used an old one of Steve's that he needed to throw out anyway for the trial run)
I added the water and fabric softener to a spray bottle and went to town on it. I kept it on the hanger and let dry overnight. This is what I found in the morning.
Not bad, right?? I was impressed! This shirt was very wrinkled, so I am sure it would do wonders on an item that just needs touched up. The fabric softener gave it just enough of a fresh, clean smell as well!
Just might have to ditch my iron for good!
Oh my gosh! That is great. Do you spray the item till it is saturated or do you just spritz it? I am going to have to try this,

pam- i sprayed this shirt pretty good because I knew I could let it sit overnight. you might just spritz it if you don't have a lot of dry time or if it isn't too wrinkled. i didn't saturate it, but it was pretty wet! genius,right?!!
