Ladies what do you use to get wrinkles out of new clothes without ironing?

I hate the thoughts of setting my ironing board up just to get the wrinkles out of my clothing items due to the way they were folded for shipping.  

 

Is there any spray that you have tried that really works? Or does it actually work at all?

I use my lil steamer I got from Joy Mangano when she was on...Love it!  Haven't used an iron in along time...Don't even own one.....

After laundering I put in dryer with wet towel, keep checking the garment until wrinkles are gone. Hang up immediately.

 

If that doesn't do it I donate or return it.

I use Downey Wrinkle Release or a steamer.  Both work well.

I do not wear anything until it is washed.  My ironing board stays up, so anything that might need pressing gets done immediately.

I don't have a problem with clothing arriving wrinkled but if I did, I'd steam it.

Did you ever wonder why those clothes that "they" insist you can roll up in a ball, pack in your luggage and take it out and wear it when you get to your destination?

 

Well .... how come it's all wrinkled when they ship it to you?

 

I wash everything before I wear it.  

 

And, I don't mind ironing my clothes at all.

I try to steam them out, which never works -- is there a trick to this I don't know?  And then I take out the ironing board.  

 

Sometimes, depending on the fabric, just hanging up the garment for a few days will loosen wrinkles.  

 

I recently tried on the sprays, and I have had no luck with this either.  And it requires more work than I realized.  I thought I could just hang and spray, but they also expect one to smooth the wrinkles with the fingers.  Taking out the ironing board out is faster and yields reliable results.  If anyone has had good results with a spray, I'd love to know which and how!  Is there a trick to this?
