Abstract
Articles of manufacture and methods for providing energy conserving means to control and/or remove wrinkles from fabric. The article includes an aqueous wrinkle control composition in a package and a set of instructions associated with the package, the set of instructions includes instructions for controlling and/or removing wrinkles in an energy and/or environment conserving manner by applying the composition to wrinkled fabrics, manipulating the fabrics to remove wrinkles and allowing the fabrics to dry without the use of an iron or tumble dryer. Alternatively, the set of instructions can be provided through the electronic or print media or some combination thereof. The instructions can further include an instruction concerning the energy that is conserved through the use of the composition as a substitute for laundering and/or ironing. The instructions can further include a recommendation or endorsement from a government agency, non-profit organization, utility service provider, or some combination thereof.
