budandbreezer Posted July 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi I'v ben reading this forum over the last few days and have noticed Downy Wrinkle reducer mentioned many times. I'v googled it but can't seem to find it in the UK Any suggestions how to find this or a similar product greatly appreciated :) I am travelling on my first cruise on the Norwegian Jade 26th July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiecat Posted July 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If you go to www.minimus you will find travel sizes and they have a wrinkle reducer that is even better. Great little product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted July 9, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2008 My friends in Canada also have trouble finding this product. I have read that you can make your own wrinkle remover spray by putting a capful of liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle, then filling it with water. Mist the clothing, then use your hands to press out any wrinkles. Apparently it is diluted enough to not leave a mark, but still leaves the good smell and helps to release the wrinkles. Might be worth a try at home before bringing the bottle & fabric softener! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budandbreezer Posted July 10, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks for the help guys. Think I'll hae a go with the fabric softener thing at home. We have a product called Febreeze which is supposed to freshen up fabrics so might try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetireeWannabee Posted July 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2008 BE CAREFUL with the diluted fabric softener plan. Try it first on dark clothes you would be ok having ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just iron your clothes before you pack, and then layer them with either tissue paper ( the present kind--not the nose-blowing kind!) or dry-cleaning bags. You won't have wrinkles and won't need any sprays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucy2mb Posted July 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I found it at wal-mart last year. This year I didn't worry about clothes being wrinkled. I never notice if people wear wrinkled clothes. I am there to have a fun vacation with family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted July 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2008 if you go to your roll call, find a roll-call buddy to bring you some. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=683520 i love my downy wrinkle releaser...use it at home all the time, since ironing tired my hands and shoulder. the ship will have a 1st day special, pressing your clothes.

Hamburg Avon Lady Posted July 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Febreez is a fabric "freshner" not for wrinkles. I roll our clothes and have very few "tired" clothes. Also, the cargo holds on the planes are pretty cold so I doubt you will have any problems. Try to fill your suitcase as full as possible. Wrinkling occurs when clothes are jostled around.

cruisegal58 Posted July 12, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2008 we use it all the time, even at home if i need to wake up something. just spray and wipe a bit let it dry. on the mariner this yr, i used a whole travel bottle on my capris/blouses and dh shirts. no laundry rooms on rccl, i didnt want to hand or fold them in a drawer, i laid my bottoms over the vanity chair and sprayed them, turned out fine. in fact, i only moved them when i used the chair. they stayed nice. maybe try downy.com or like someone posted, have a buddy bring a bottle, they have travel size at walmart for about $2. cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2008 This product is sold in Magellan's Uk http://magellans.co.uk/store/Toiletries___Kits___Clothes_CareTC425F?Args= How you pack will affect greatly on how much your cloths will be wrinkled. Pack-It folders and cubes are a good choice for packing. Anne McAlpin, Eagle Creek, and Packinglight.net have videos that you may find useful. The Anne McAlpin video is a condensed version of the DVD that comes with her book. The book has many worthwhile suggestions.
