Color-safe, fast drying, aqueous wrinkle relaxing and reducing composition spray-applied on casual to fine clothing and fabrics

This invention is a wrinkle relaxing and reducing composition that mimics the dewrinkling effects of steam. Quality water is used as the primary fabric relaxant and wrinkle reducer. A surfactant or combination of surfactants super-wets the fabric allowing the water to work. An acid or several acids...

description This invention is a wrinkle relaxing and reducing composition that mimics the dewrinkling effects of steam. Quality water is used as the primary fabric relaxant and wrinkle reducer. A surfactant or combination of surfactants super-wets the fabric allowing the water to work. An acid or several acids lower the pH to ensure that composition is color-safe. Optional hydrophillic fragrance(s) mask the alcohol odor and helps to identify the product. An alcohol or alcohols lower viscosity and hastens the drying process. The mechanical action of gently shaking or brushing fabric with free hand or forming fabric just after application of composition further enhances wrinkle elimination or reduction. Adding optional odor eliminating compounds and/or optional quaternary ammonium compounds keeps fabrics fresh longer, or refreshes malodorous garments by eliminating odorous compounds and/or reduces static cling, respectively, without significantly increasing residues. The composition is applied in any reasonable manner but preferably spray applied using a commercially available pre-compression sprayer or aerosol pressure container on fabrics in the home or in a commercial setting to relax and reduce wrinkles in casual to fine clothing and/or fabrics, respectively. It is color-safe, extremely fast drying, environmentally friendly and safe for use commercially and in the home. The invention also includes the application of the composition on a "forgotten load" garment or reusable or individually packaged fabric carrier sheet which is placed in the home dryer to relax and reduce wrinkles in casual to fine clothing in "forgotten" dryer loads and for "bulk" or commercial dewrinkling.
