Question:

72% polyester, 22% rayon, 4% spandex outfit will not iron. Any tips?

Care label says machine wash cold gentle cycle with like colors, iron on lowest setting as needed. I have tried ironing on low and high settings but the wrinkles will not go away! I‘m left with drycleaning as my only option. Any tips on getting the wrinkles out without having to dry clean?

Answer:

Seems like it should have worked. You could try handwashing one more time and smoothing it out to air dry. Perhaps there will not be such wrinkling. Worth a try.
More then likely you can not. Cotton is the best shrinker as in cotton denim. Polyester blends w spandex can usually stretch very nicely but hard if not impossible to shrink take them back for the correct size
Never tumble dry or squeeze to drip. Stretch on the hangers when it is still dripping. Where wringle is more, put a wet towel or handky under the cloth and iron it from over. Medium heat will help. If you can not remove the wrinkles completely, the best way is to fold and iron such cloths to make neat and sharp crease. Small wrinkles near a neat creas will not appear much and will give a dignified look too.
