Say Goodbye to Wrinkles with This Easy DIY Solution
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to look presentable with wrinkled clothing, especially when you’re pressed for time or don’t have access to an iron or steamer. Fortunately, creating your own homemade wrinkle releaser spray is a simple and cost-effective solution that can save you from the hassle of ironing. This quick tutorial will guide you through making an effective wrinkle-removing spray using everyday household ingredients—no special equipment needed.
This homemade wrinkle releaser has been a lifesaver for me during busy mornings or last-minute outings. It’s quick to prepare, smells fresh, and works wonders on all types of fabrics. Just spray, gently tug the fabric to smooth out wrinkles, and you’re good to go. For an extra touch of fluffiness, you can toss your clothes in the dryer for a few minutes after spraying, but it’s not necessary.

Ingredients Needed for Your DIY Wrinkle Releaser
- 1 3/4 cups of warm or room temperature water
- 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar (You can Purchase HERE)
- 1 teaspoon of your favorite hair conditioner (any brand works!)
- A clean spray bottle — choose between Glass or Plastic
Step-by-Step Guide to Prepare Your Wrinkle Releaser Spray
- Gather your ingredients: Make sure all components are ready before you start.
- Fill your spray bottle: Pour 1 3/4 cups of warm water into the bottle, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Add vinegar: Measure and pour in 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar, which helps relax fabric fibers.
- Incorporate hair conditioner: Add 1 teaspoon of any hair conditioner of your choice to give the spray a pleasant scent and soften the fabric.
- Shake well: Secure the lid tightly and shake the bottle vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Apply to clothing: Spray the mixture lightly onto wrinkled areas, then use your hands or a flat surface to gently smooth out the fabric. For best results, let the sprayed clothing air dry for a few minutes, or toss it in the dryer on a low setting to fluff and finish the process.
Additional Tips for Best Results
While this homemade spray works great on most fabrics, always do a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. Use the spray sparingly on delicate materials, and avoid over-saturating. For stubborn wrinkles, repeat the process or combine it with a quick pass with a steamer if available.
