I have some pleather that has been
stored for a long time and has creases and wrinkles in it. How do I remove them?

Pleather is a faux-leather fabric made from polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride laminated to a woven or knit backing fabric. Basically it's a plastic leather, hence "pleather."
To remove wrinkles use a dry iron set on the synthetic setting. Use a press cloth when pressing either side of the fabric to avoid sticking to the iron and press with a gentle hand. You can also wash the piece and press it to help eliminate any stubborn fold marks.
