Downey Wrinkle Release
 
Is anyone else having trouble finding Downey Wrinkle Release recently? I've been using it for a couple of years and am having touble finding it recently in places where I've bought it in the past. One of my co-workers who lives in another city said he couldn't find it anymore and had been told by one store that it's discontinued.

Anyone else having similar problems? I really hope that it's not being discontinued as I love it -- I use it at home as well as when I travel.

Are you stuck on that one brand? Many other companies are making wrinkle release products. I don't know where you live, but in the Indiana/Michigan area, Meijer has it on their own label, and I believe Target does as well.

I never travel anywhere without a small travel spritzer bottle of wrinkle release.

I have never heard of this product but was intrigued by your post. Here's the recipe for a home-made version found by Googling Downy (no e) Wrinkle Release:

Homemade Downy Wrinkle Release
Fill a spray bottle with distilled water; add 1 teaspoon liquid
fabric softener (if you use Downy you'll duplicate the fragrance). Directions: Spray the wrinkled garment using a sweeping
motion from about 8 inches away until slightly damp. Tug and smooth
away wrinkles. Hang until dry. Use more spray for heavy fabrics or
severe wrinkles. For a pressed look, spray fabrics while ironing.

And here's the URL for a review of the commercial product that's less than positive:

Oh Patrick, would that it could!

LOL, Patrick. Why don't you try it and let us know? ;;)
