I received my shower curtain today. The wrinkles are driving me crazy!! Has anyone tried ironing them out??

No I have not ironed my curtain. Let the steam from the shower take care of them for you.

i wouldn't...the material is too delicate. i liked the crinkle...but that's just me. send it back if you can.

Haven't tried ironing but maybe you can steam them out if you have a steam machine or try dampening it putting it in the dryer for a few minutes

It is supposed to have a crinkle effect to the fabric. I threw mine in the dryer on low for 15 minutes with a damp wash cloth to remove the creases from the packaging.

I also have the shower curtain, which I love and I don't remember it being so wrinkled. I would give it time and eventually the wrinkles will go way from the steam when you take a shower. Plus, the fabric in that shower curtain has more of that wrinkled look which I think gives it that cool shabby chic gypsy look!! Hope that helps

It hasn't been a problem so far. When I wash it I remove it from the dryer as soon as it is dry and fold it carefully to minimize wrinkles. Hanging it soon after drying is the best bet. We have not yet had to iron it as wrinkles have not been a problem. But I can imagine a shoot in which that could be a problem in which case one might have to iron it.

Yes they will look slightly wrinkled. The "less polished" look is a perfect description! I have washed mine several times and have not ironed at all. Probably never will.

Yes, I have washed mine several times on delicate cycle with cold water and machine dried for 10 minutes and then put back up. This curtain comes out clean and dries without wrinkles. You won't regret buying this product. It is beautiful. Adds pops of color in a bath. Works great with the rugs. I have several but prefer the lime green. Enjoy.

The creases will relax after hanging and exposure to bathroom heat/humidity. This curtain proved to be much more sturdy than I had anticipated but because it is vinyl I would suggest refraining from any applied heat/pressure methods to remove creases. Just give it some time to hang.

I felt a bit of touch up was needed, however my washer and dryer are not the newest and I believe the newer appliances are much easier on your washings. Sorry that's all I can offer. I love the bed ruffle as it looks, IMO, smashing with my coverlet of very pale green and it is ivory - I think of Spring. TMI.

I put the first one I bought in the dryer with a wet dish towel for about ten minutes and the wrinkles came right out. The second one I just put on the bed and within a day or two the wrinkles were gone. Actually I have bought three - one for each bedroom and love them!

Yes, and I just did them in my new LG dryer on the correct setting, still wrinkled, but once you spread them out on the bed, they seem to relax (except for the top rim) Guess if we want the sheets our Mom's did for us, it is back to the ironing board as they are all cotton. I do however like the feel of them when in bed. (use little heat when drying)

I haven't had a problem yet, but I also have been washing it every other week to keep it clean; also try leaving the curtain open at each end of your tub/shower to let air flow through, otherwise the curtain remains damp all day.

If you are going to iron it, you should put a couple of pieces of fabric between it and the iron and use a light steam. I think I will do that too to get rid of the fold marks. Then instead of folding it, roll it over a paper towel roller.

I found that the iron was not hot enough. I did not use steam, but clothing was not hot to the touch the second after ironing that spot like they were on my old iron. I don't want to have to go over the same spot more than once or twice to iron a wrinkle out. I found that was what I had to do.

If u fold it they dont come out without iron or steaming. I've learned through other photographers that theres less wrinkles if you roll it up. However i find that due to color it's hardly noticeable. Good backdrop.

Like you, I have also washed shower curtains before. Unfortunately with this one, the washer stripped the design right off and I had to throw it away.

I have the same problem. I just washed them again today. I haven't found a cover. I thought I would cover them with some red vinyl. It should be pretty easy to do with a staple gun. Good luck finding a cover. I think I will put the cloth napkin on the seat. Maybe they will actually use the napkin if they are sitting on it. Lol.

I just ironed mine last week before a shoot. You can steam also and another trick of wetting the muslin while it's hanging is said to work - though - I have not tried that one. The real trick is managing 20 ft. of material...

Although the curtain is a polyester fabric, it does not look like it should be ironed. Since you usually would need to use higher heat when you iron on decals, I would be afraid of scorching the curtain.

I hung it up straight out of the packaging and after a few hot showers, the curtain is now perfectly unwrinkled. Hopefully that will work for you as it is the simplest way!
