How to remove wrinkles from drapes with rubber backing? I can not iron or put them in the dryer as they will melt and stick together. Do not have a hand held steamer.

    use your iron on steam but don't iron them just steam the curtains or try putting them in the bathroom and steaming them that way

    Hand held steamers are pretty inexpensive, you can find them for under $15. Can you put them in the dryer on a low setting or just fluff setting for a short time?

    If the fabric can be cleaned with water then I would suggest you use a spray bottle and spritz them with with water. Being damp should soften the fabric enough to release the wrinkles. If not you could attach some weights to help pull them straight. There are commercially available wrinkle release products but I believe they are waterbased.
