Thanks to Downy Wrinkle Releaser! No kidding folks, it works! Just spray on wrinkled fabric and give the fabric a few tugs. Voila; wrinkles are gone. This is life-changing news for me, the girl who gets a pit in her stomach every time the word "iron" is spoken. Ben asks me to iron a shirt, and I say, "Oh, just hang it in the front closet. I'll get to it later." Ben treks to the front closet all forlorn, knowing he will never wear that shirt again (it does not cross his mind that he could iron the shirt himself). These days are over for the Iversons! Now I will just pass Ben the "De-wrinkler" and set him free. Perhaps Henry will get to start wearing that white Sunday shirt that made its way to the bottom of the drawer after we washed it for the first time (I warned him to never get it dirty if he wanted to wear it again)! Thanks to Eliza for the raving recommendation.
While we're on the subject, I would feel very guilty if I didn't also spread the news about my other favorite spray-on product: Zout. Ever thought it would be cool if Spray & Wash actually worked? Then this is the product for you! Seriously, I think I had been devotedly spraying Spray & Wash on my clothes for five years, hoping each time that this would be the one time it actually really removed a stain. You never know, right? Well, let me tell you -- Zout works. I had a stack of baby clothes that had been "permanently" stained by Henry, then left in a box for three years. I brought them out, sprayed them with Zout, and watched the miracles unfold. The stains are gone! I have seen Zout remove blood stains that had already been washed and dried. I now start the laundry fervently, anxious to produce another Zout marvel. So if you're smart, you'll dump that Spray & Wash down the sink today and go buy Zout (I think the prices are comparable). Thanks to Shelly for converting me.P.S. While on the subject of laundry, I should give Ben some credit. He is just as reluctant as I am about ironing, but he ends up folding with me nearly every week! No matter what I do, I can't seem to get that pile of clothes off of our bed before he gets home. So I really do appreciate him and that he is so willing to be my "equal partner" in laundry!

I'm going out to get some Zout now. Lauren has started solids and now drools in color. Thanks for the recommendation-I hate those nasty stains!
Wow, those sound great. I'm going to have to get some. I never iron- I always just throw it in the dryer for a couple minutes and that works great.
I am guilty of the 'hang it where I can see it' and then it magically gets ignored forever, until he irons his clothes. I really intend to do it, It is just so forgettable.
Thanks for the awesome ideas!! I HATE ironing and Shaun usually irons his own shirts or throws a sweater over them if he doesn't have time/want to iron! Poor guy! I am going to have to try it out!!
Thanks for sharing these awesome finds! I'll definitely be picking them up next time I go shopping. I need all the help I can get when it comes to laundry and ironing, they both rank pretty high on my least favorite things list.
Amen to the folding laundry thing. Doug always ends up helping me too. I just barely bought some of that wrinkle release stuff because I heard it was great. I can't wait to try it! I'll have to pick up some Zout. I've been a Shout user for awile but it may be time to change...
OKay, first thing Monday I am going to get Zout(praying they have it at the commisary). Who ever thought white shirts would be a good idea for childrens school uniforms didn't have a child! This recommendation came at a time I was ready to just go buy new shirts.
Thanks for the recommendations!

Wow - you've got me convinced. I've got it on the shopping list.
Thanks so much for the recommendations!! Just this morning some friends and I were lamenting over ironing woes. And I was just saying I would probably one day pull out baby clothes to use again and notice how stained they were and get rid of them - now I have hope that they may be salvageable after all!
