How do you get wrinkles out of rain ponchos?

Is there any helpful tips on getting wrinkles out of those yellow Disney ponchos? They've been stuffed away in a small suitcase for two years!!

try soaking in hot water for a half hour and then put onto hanger and hang in the sun for a few hours

stick them in the dryer for just a minute. If you only leave them in a minute, they will be warm when you take them out, but they will be wrinkle free.

Hang them on a hanger in the bathroom while you're showering. The steam should help with the wrinkles (at least it works on clothing). Whenever I put something in the dryer to "dewrinkle" it I also toss in a damp towel so there will be some steam, too. I've never tried with plastic, though. If you put them in the dryer, make sure it's on low!

Great ideas! Thanks

I hardly iron my clothes, much less my poncho's....

I know that's how I am but that's how horribly wrinkled my ponchos are!!!

I also recommend using the clothes dryer (on "warm"). Just leave them in for a minute or two, and put in a couple of towels, too, to give them something to "tumble" with. Take them out immediately and the wrinkles disappear.

(I use this method when I wash my shower curtain liner - works like a charm!)

Simple, just open up a can of "Who give's a rip" apply liberally over the wrinkled area, hang them and let them dry for 30 minutes and forget about them.

I laughed so hard when I read this post..The dryer does work. I've done it many times...but deep down inside I so want to be a "who the rip cares"...I just cant settle tho when my poncho is wrinkled.

QUICK!! Carefully fold and put in the trash... then go to dollar store and buy new tiny disposable rain ponchos (2 for $1) that don't ever have to be messed with again.
I know you made an investment when you bought the yellow wonders but cut your losses and get out now while you still have your sanity!!

That's why we bought the Disney ones in the first place!! We had brought with us a bunch of those plastic $1 kind but heck the storm was over by the time we even got it half way separated!!!

I recommend an iron set to cotton with no steam. Definitately no steam, that would ruin them.
