Bought some of this stuff this past weekend at Target. I have a number of dress shirts that are quite wrinkle prone, so I thought I'd use this stuff much like one would use starch or sizing. After misting my shirts down with water, i re-misted with the wrinkle releaser and ironed as usual. My dress shirts both yesterday and today remained amazing wrinkle-free to the end of the day. I don't think this is the intended use of the product but it does a great job.

Just thought I'd pass this tip along.

Been doing this for a week now with fantastic results. Doesn't seem to make the shirts any less breathable either.

Just started using this stuff. Anybody notice water spots on their ties?

Should be more specific... I am spraying this on dress shirts when I travel. I just noticed some spots on the backside of my tie. It might be unrelated...
