How do I remove creases in fabric?

Setting and Removing Creases

A solution of one part water and one part distilled white vinegar will remove an old crease and/or set a new one. Dampen a press cloth with this mixture and press with as hot of an iron as the fabric will allow. Press until the press cloth is dry. The vinegar smell will dissipate as the fabric dries.

Not perfect on all fabrics, but works better than anything else I've tried. Thanks for the suggestion.
