@SilleeMee. As a professed lover of Tencel shirts, I'm wondering if you can address the wrinkling factor. I received an Idina Menzel shirt yesterday. It was neatly folded in the package but was the biggest wrinkled mess I ever saw and will take major ironing.

I'm wondering if I want to be bothered with it. How do they come through the laundry? Do you iron yours? The fabric certainly feels nice.

@Kachina624

I just wash my lyocell (Tencel) shirts as usual. Cold-water wash, dry on low heat and promptly hang them up out of the dryer. Mine have not ever needed ironing but you could iron them if you wanted them to be completely smooth. I like the way they come out of the dryer, no ironing for me.

@SilleeMee. Thanks, good to know. My shirt would be unwearable in its present state and I'm not picky. I wondered if I ironed it once if would subsequently come out of the dryer in a wearable state.

I think one of the things about Tencel fabric is that when you wash/dry it, the wrinkles come right out and you really don't need to iron it.

You're welcome @Kachina624

Which shirt(s) did you buy?

@Kachina624 You could try putting it in dryer now on low for a few minutes , then hang & see how it looks.

I agree @AZfem and if @Kachina624 doesn't have a steam dryer then a damp washcloth thrown in with the shirt can help too.

Downey has a wrinkle removal spray that works.

'It also takes away odors like the chemical smell of new items.
