(57) A method for removing creases and wrinkles from a textile fabric material by spraying the wrinkled area with an alcohol-aqueous solution containing a surfactant material. The spraying is continued until the wrinkled area is covered thoroughly but not thoroughly saturated, then allowed to rest for a predetermined period of time. The treated fabric material is then held tight with one hand and the wrinkles are smoothed out slowly with the other hand and this step is repeated for one or more times, if necessary. The treated matarial is now allowed to dry. In another embodiment of the invention, pleats are restored to pleated materials by spraying the pleat along the pleat line with the same solution, holding the pleat with one hand at the bottom and grasping the pleat with the other hand at the top. The hand grasping the pleat is now moved downwardly while the other hand holds the pleat thus restoring the pleat to the pleated material.
