Santa was kind enough to bring me several dress shirts for Christmas, all of which came labeled "No Iron", "Wrinkle Free", Liars! It's a scam!
Here's the way wrinkle free is supposed to work. At the "No Iron" factory, cotton fabric is submerged in a large vat of formaldehyde then pressed flat. One this process is complete the molecules which make up the fabric will behave like a well instructed marching band playing the half time show at a local high school football game, and move to their respective positions each time the shirt is laundered, thus making the shirt "Wrinkle Free".
Nice theory, but never works for me. I always end up ironing my "No Iron", "Wrinkle Free", shirts to keep from looking like the local vagabonds picking trash out of the dumpsters and begging for a quarter.
Now I am told inorder to solve the problem of having to labor feverishly over my ironing board just to get my "No Wrinkle"shirts to appear crisp, and tidy, there are two things I must do.
- remove shirt promptly from the dryer (Yea, right!)
- purchase a more expensive shirt (seems the $75 ones work the best!)

I Knew It! Thanks for confirming it. I rarely have to wear a dress shirt but when I do and forget to get the iron out in time or I am feeling too lazy I use this trick; Take the shirt and a clean damp cloth like a dish cloth. Put them both in the dryer for about 5 - 10 minutes and all the wrinkles will be gone unless they are real bad. This trick will not put in any fancy creases though.
