Ingredients:
Wrinkle-Release Spray:
1 cup distilled water
1 tablespoon fabric softener
1 tablespoon rubbing alcohol
DIY Dryer Sheets:
1 cup white vinegar
10-15 drops of essential oil (e.g., lavender, lemon, or eucalyptus)
Small cloth squares or sponges
Steam Refresh Solution:
1 cup water
1 tablespoon liquid fabric softener
Instructions:
Wrinkle-Release Spray:
Combine distilled water, fabric softener, and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.
Shake well to mix the ingredients.
Lightly spray the wrinkled areas of your clothing and gently tug or smooth out the fabric with your hands. Let it air dry.
DIY Dryer Sheets:
Mix white vinegar and essential oils in a bowl.
Soak small cloth squares or sponges in the mixture.
Wring out excess liquid and let them dry.
Toss one sheet into the dryer with your laundry to reduce static and wrinkles.
Steam Refresh Solution:
Fill a steam iron or garment steamer with water and add liquid fabric softener.
Steam your clothes, holding the steamer a few inches away from the fabric.
Gently smooth out wrinkles with your hands as you steam.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: Use the wrinkle-release spray on clothes as soon as you notice wrinkles. The DIY dryer sheets can be reused multiple times—simply re-soak them in the vinegar mixture when they dry out.
Storing: Store the wrinkle-release spray and vinegar mixture in a cool, dry place. Keep the dryer sheets in an airtight container to preserve their scent.
Variants:
For a stronger wrinkle-release spray, add 1 teaspoon of liquid starch to the mixture.
