Wrinkled Ponchos

[lizardqueen]

we have 2 very wrinkled mickey ponchos from last year. they spent the entire year balled up in our suitcase. I know I've seen some poncho de-wrinkling tips on here, but can't bring them up with the search function. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I need to know too! Thanks!

I've not done it with a poncho, but I've used the clothing dryer to get wrinkles out of a vinyl shower curtain before. It should work the same. You just need to check it every 20-30 seconds. It'll only take a minute or two to get warm enough to be pliant. Then, lay it out flat.

Yep. The dryer works like a charm.

If you hang them out on the clothesline on a nice warm sunny day, this should help.

I then put them on a flat surface and run my hands down to get out the wrinkles.


I then fold and roll them.

Good luck

I would dampen them a little, and put them in the dryer for a few minutes, and then hang them. Perfect!

Geez-you mean you're not supposed to leave them balled up in the old suitcase, forget about having them and end up buying new ones every trip--and complaining about how we own $200 worth of Mickey ponchos?

Lay them out flat on your driveway in direct sun for about an hour....they should be good as new. Then fold them back nicely.

I think I read somewhere that if you hang it in the bathroom while you take a hot shower (maybe leave it there through a couple showers), that will take the wrinkles out.

Maybe you could sell these on eBay?

You mean you can't wear them all wrinkled up?.................

Great idea!
I'm thinking maybe I'll hold off until I have a full 'service for 12' ..which shouldn't take long

Oh so funny BirdsOfPreyDave

Do you use PhotoShop???

Anyway, I buy cheapo, non-disney ponchos and since I like to travel light, I want nicely wrapped flat ones to go into my DH big ol' pockets ... so wrinkly ones are not good!!! But I have to admit good ideas on getting the wrinkles out should I ever want to.

Ponch in a poncho! That's great!
By the way, this is very OT, but do you by chance work with birds of prey, Dave?

I turn our ponchos side out (to keep Mickey nice and bright) and put them into the dryer with a wet towel. Works like a charm!
