Back to school – the weeks leading up to it and then essentially the whole first month – is full of activity and yes some stress. Everyone is getting ready and adjusted to a new routine, and many extra-curricular activities start up at the same time. It’s times like these that those awesome life hacks you see online come into use!
My sister found this hack online and uses it for all her boots – if you see pool noodles on clearance now at the end of the summer season, grab them and cut them into shorter stacks to use inside your boots to keep them standing tall and wrinkle free in the closet!
When it comes to your clothing, if you need a life-hack to shave some time off your busy schedule and still look your best on-the-go, I’ve got a super simple one for you that actually works! Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus reduces wrinkles, removes static, and eliminates odours on your favourite top, pants, or dress clothes quickly and easily.
Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus is ideal for all types of clothes, relaxing the fabric by coating fabric fibres with a thin silicone layer, which reduces wrinkles. This product will also improve the appearance of fabrics all over your home. It’s true! Try it on tablecloths, cloth napkins, sheets, curtains and more (curtains is a game-changer!)
Check out my test on a shirt that’s a cotton/spandex blend. Super light and flowy, it also wrinkles like crazy when I wash it, even if I pull it out of the dryer right away. Spray, tug, smooth and hang – that’s it! This is awesome for those mornings when you thought you had it all figured out (me, before TV when I pull out a dress and realize it’s wrinkled, guh!) and can save the day quickly!
This is also a good idea for parents to send along with their kids heading off to university/college this fall because we know they won’t be ironing anytime soon (I’d be curious on how many students actually own an iron, tbh).
Look for Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus ($5.99/500ml) at Loblaws stores or a convenient travel size bottle ($2.47/90ml) at Walmart.
Three of our readers are going to win a 500ml bottle of Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus to help with the busy back to school “season” (it really should qualify as it’s own, right?)

I would probably use it on everything. Haha. Unfortunately my son burnt himself on an iron when he was really little and so I avoid ironing like the plague now (as if I needed an excuse!) 😉
I have two different thin dark sweaters that I wear over shirts and they are always wrinkled.
I’d use it on shirts, dresses, skirts, some pants. I’d love to know if it would work on a shower curtain, I still have creases from the folds from packaging. It’s some sort of soft artificial material. There isn’t a label on it but I do remember that the package said not to put it in the dryer. I’ve washed it but most of the creases from the folding are still present.
I’d use it on a peasant blouse that always get wrinkley even when I hang it up. Or perhaps on an item I neglected to hang up.
My husband’s crinkled suit pants!
I would use it on my khaki pants
Definitely my work clothes and my husband’s dress shirts for work. I hate ironing!

I would use this spray on my hubby’s work shirts and also on some of my cotton dresses. It be great not to have to set up the ironing board and iron any more.
A lot of the clothes I wash don’t go into the dryer. They are hung to dry and therefore are prone to wrinkles. The Downy Wrinkle Release Plus would be great for all of these clothes.
