Dry Cleaning - laundry, steam iron


I received a free sample of this product and all I can say is WOW!! I couldn't wait until it was available for sale. I was excited to see it available for sale on Amazon . . .here's the but . . . its a great product, better then Downy Wrinkle release but not at a 150% more per ounce price tag.

Sorry SWASH. You have a great product but I don't see that I would use less of it than I would the Downy product, the value quotient is severely lacking. Swash Smooth It Out - Clothing Dewrinkler, 2.5-Ounce (2 pack bundle

I have been using this on my button-downs in between uses (since I don't really iron and dry cleaning is $$$) -- it works well... similar to a light steaming. I am curious to see how many uses I get out of the 2.5 bottle, but I'd recommend it.

It works well enough on slightly wrinkled clothing, but not nearly as well as similar products like Downy wrinkle release or WrinkleFree. Not only does it require substantially more of the product to work than its aforementioned competitors, but it also takes significantly longer to dry. A few extra minutes are required before wearing the garment or you're likely to add new wrinkles to the dampened fabric. The scent may also bother some, and the aerosol bottle is just like those cans of misting sun-block... just doesn't give you the same value. It's convenient, but not for copious use. All told, it's not much more effective than hanging a garment to steam in the shower, but if you're pressed for time you'll appreciate the benefits. Three stars on product effectiveness.



Its real weakness is the container design- clearly not TSA friendly. This is a travel product, so you've really gotta wonder what genius decided that a metallic cylinder was the proper container choice. Guaranteed way to get a secondary screening in the TSA security line, or to have your checked luggage tossed to kingdom come. It sure does look slick, but I'm serious here: don't even bother folding your clothes if you pack this in your checked bag, you can probably imagine what an aluminum cylinder looks like in an x-ray. Six flights, two secondary carry-on screenings and four TSA baggage inspection notices left in my checked luggage. Not much sense in packing to avoid wrinkles if you luggage is guaranteed to get tossed.

It seems this product is for lightly wrinkled items of clothing. I work overseas occasionaly and we turn in our laundry to have it washed/dried. More often than not they don't fold it, so after drying they toss it back in your laundry bag and it sits there until you pick it up. With that being said my clothes come back pretty wrinkled. I had hoped this would solve my wrinkle problems but again, I believe it's only for the few wrinkles you may have from say, packing your clothes in your luggage.

Do you like using dryer sheets and love the smell of chemicals on your clothing? Do you spray air freshener in your home just for funsies? Then this product is for you. Not only does it mildly remove wrinkles, but it spreads a strong chemical scent on your clothing. Fan-tastic.



I wonder how Downy Wrinkle Remover compares.

I just used this for the 1st time and it quickly smoothed out some nasty wrinkles in a pair of jeans. I have always purchased the Downey Wrinkle Releaser, but decided that since I could get this through Amazon Prime I would try it. So far, so good. I am a little leery of the price/size. I wonder if it will last as long. It is aerosol, and the other was a spray bottle. We shall see. At this time I am very happy with the results and recommend the item...pending and issues with the spray top (clogging, etc.) and how far it does or does not go.

I can honestly say this product does exactly what it claims. You spray it on the article of clothing, smooth it out, wait a minute or so, then wear - no wrinkles. Have heard it works on draperies and other cloth items but haven't tried that yet.

I love this dewrinkler, and it does work as described, getting wrinkles out of t-shirts and casual clothes. It also smells wonderfully. Since you have to spray it generously, the size is a too small for the price, and with daily use, your would probably run out of it in a week or two. The container could use some improvements. Once, the bottle arrived damaged, producing foam instead of spray (it was promptly replaced), and another time it broke when I used up most of it. I like the quality of this product (especially handy for travel), but the quantity and the price do not match up, and I will keep searching for an alternative. - Laundry - Steam Iron'
