static release

Most are liquid, ready-to-use anti-static wrinkle releasers and fabric refreshers that reduce static cling and smooth wrinkles while freshening fabrics.

Lightly spray the garment from several inches away, smooth or flatten the fabric by hand, then hang or lay it flat to air-dry so the wrinkles relax and static dissipates.

Many also remove light wrinkles, eliminate odors, and refresh fabrics. Some products are marketed as ironing aids or deodorizers for clothing.

Sizes range from small travel bottles (around 3 fl oz) to larger refill containers (up to about 33.8 fl oz), with mid-size sprays (for example ~9.7 fl oz) common for everyday use.

Reviewers commonly report that many sprays quickly reduce static cling and smooth minor wrinkles, with some customers saying they can cut down on ironing for light wrinkles.

Dryer sheets reduce static cling and can help smooth wrinkles in the dryer. Some are formulated to speed drying (fast-dry technology) and are sold in multi-count packs (for example 70 sheets).
