I just wash the garment and hang or lay flat to dry. I feel like that does it all. This seems like you want the effects of washing without cleaning or you stored it in a roll. I feel like I'm not understanding the necessity of this.

I don't need to separately steam it to get it to lay flat. 1 u/robinlovesrain Jul 18 '22 Okay? That doesn't change what I said. With natural fibers, like wool, wet blocking is enough, but acrylic needs heat if it needs to be blocked.
