Wrinkles...in clothes

[LSUDis]

Do the ziploc bags keep clothes from being wrinkled or do they make them worse?

Any packing tips to eliminate wrinkling?....I hate ironing every night at Disney.


Thanks!

Have you tried getting the Downy Wrinkle Release? I had a shirt that I wadded up in a bag after I purchased it, and forgot about it (oops!). I was going to take it out and throw it in the wash, but thought I would see how the wrinkle release spray did. I put it on a hanger, sprayed the release on, pulled the wrinkles out really quick, and let it dry. No wrinkles when I came back!!! I have packed this in my bag, and am not worrying about wrinkles; I know my spray will get it out for me yay!!
You should try that though, I found it at Wal-Mart in the regular laundry aisle

I second Downy Wrinkle Release. Between that and the humidity in Florida, you shouldn't have to iron at all. :)

hth.

I just bought the travel size at Wal-mart!!

I just bought the travel size at Walmart today too! I paid 1.50! I'll let you know how it works cause I plan to pack my stuff in ziploc bags!!!

I live in t-shirts. I haven't ironed one in the past 3 years. I love Wrinkle Release!

Geez......... where have I been, I've never heard of this wrinkle release :rolleyes1 Thanks for the info........ I too hate ironing while on vacation!! I'm gonna go get some for our upcomming trip!! :thumbsup2

Just a tip that I tried this last trip to WDW. We rolled the clothes tightly. They came out great. I was so surprised. Try it.

I too do not like ironing..but I do not have any luck with the wrinkle release. I am beginning to think it is just me. I read and did the directions and no luck. So then almost soaked it in release and still no luck....anyone else having this issue? just curious...

I have the downy wrinkle release at home...but where did you find a travel size?

Was it down the same aisle?

Rolling clothes works well, but even if it doesn't - when I'm on vacation I don't care about wrinkles - on me or my clothes!!

You don't even need to pay the $$ for wrinkle release. Just mist with water, shake hard and most wrinkles will fall out. If you have time mist, shake, and hang. In the FL weather though you can mist, shake, and wear damp. The wrinkles will be gone in 5 minutes. :thumbsup2

I have also used the roll method. I now roll all of my clothes when I travel so that they take less space. By rolling my clothes I find that I don't get too many wrinkles. Also, I agree with a previous poster, when I am on vacation, I don't worry about wrinkles. :)

Since I live in shorts and t-shirts, I only use in t-shirts. I just hang them on a hanger, spray them and then tug them taunt. The wrinkles are gone. Maybe it doesn't work on other types of clothing. :confused3

I will have to get some of the wrinkle release since I pack all my kids clothes in ziplocs. I just hand them their bag in the morning. Where did you find the trial size? Was it in the same place as the regular stuff? TOO COOL....I hadn't heard of it. Don't need it up here, I guess. :thumbsup2

Learned this trick when I used to travel a lot on business. I do the same every time we go to Disney. As soon as you unpack your clothes and put them on hangars, hang them on the curtain rod in the bathroom. Turn the shower on HOT and let it run for about 15-20 minutes. Voila, all the wrinkles are gone.

I LOVE the Downey Wrinkle Release!!! Seems to to work best with T-shirts and other cotton material.

Here is an even better deal!!! Go here and get your $1 off coupon! They will either email it or snail mail it, but it is off ANY size :thumbsup2

I'm a "roller." This seems to work very well with most clothes (and takes less room in suitcase). Since most hotel rooms have an iron/ironing board in them, I can touch up things the day I arrive, if needed - but have rarely needed to do that because rolling works!

[T. Lynn]

Where is everyone finding the travel size? Is it next to the full size or in a different aisle?

[tatooed goofy]

Okay, I was at Walmart today and found the trial size Wrinkle release in the trial size isle. It was $1.50 and I bought one. Just wanted to share where I found it. I looked in the regular area too to see if it was there also but it wasn't. JUST in the trial size area. Hope this helps everyone out! :thumbsup2

[T. Lynn]

Thanks everyone.

I went to Walmart yesterday and found them in the trial size area as well. They had 2 bottles left so I got both. One for in our camper and one for other traveling. This Walmart was out of the regular size.

I went to another walmart looking for the regular size bottles for home use. Next to them were 3 trial size bottles in a box for $3.98. Good deal if you wanted 3 so I guess they can be found in either aisle depending on your store.

I will not allow my wife to do laundry, iron or cook on vacation. She does enough of that at home and its her vacation too. Skip the wrinkles, I'm never going to see these people again and they don't know me when I'm there. We pack no special way other than space bags to condense the volume and have never done laundry even when our kids were still young after 35 some visits. Wife does the unpacking of her bag and puts it all in the drawers and closet, I'm the live out of the bag guy. Pick some clothes, wear them, smell them and stuff them in a Disney laundry bag for the return home trip. We have no problems on vacation.

I LOVE the Dollar General wrinkle releaser. It only costs $1.00 and is just as good as Downy! It has a pleasant smell too. In our DG it is a seasonal item, so I really stock up all summer. I think other people must love it as well because I always buy the last couple that are on the shelf! :thumbsup2

We use the large vaccum sealed bags from home shopping or now they are in walmart or target. You stuff the bag with your folded or rolled clothes and then use the vaccum to get out the extra air. Some of the bags only require you to roll out the air. We have used this method for the past 4 visits to WDW and it works great. They cost a little more than the new ones but the air doesn't get back in until you open it up at WDW. There are now wrinkles either. You can use them at home for comforters or seasonal clothes. It also lets you get a ton of clothes in a small little suit case. We also use it on the way home for dirty clothes.

never have a wrinkle when I travel

get extra bags next time you go to cleaners.

Hang up outfit on (i use huggable hangers from qvc). put dry cleaner bag on.
hang in suitcase, or one fold over. when all done, strap in with suitcase strap. pack each outfit separately in a bag.

I always pack about a month ahead of time, clothes come out just like I packed them.

I never iron.

plus , you can always hang them in a steamy shower.
