Answer 1

You just reminded me its time to get ours out (although we're going away, so may not bother.)

One way that may work is to spray them LIGHTLY with water and smooth them gently. Or if you have a steam iron, direct the steam at them, but don't actually iron them.

Answer 2

^First answerer additionally forgot to point that it TAKES perpetually. tension straightening takes a looong time, have faith me. One speedy and straightforward way is to take a hair straightener, and continually run it over the paper. positioned it on the utmost putting (maximum quit at 3 hundred-4 hundred tiers.) i've got finished this distinctive circumstances to make notes and particularly previous records look neater. The paper will become rapidly and crisp, in very just about 2-3 minutes of straightening. in case you do not posses a hair straightener, you need to use any previous iron, as long as you're taking care to not use the steam spray, and save the iron shifting continually.

Answer 3

I would dip them into lukewarm water with a very mild cold water soap. Rise, lay on an old towel, and reshape them while they are damp. Let dry and see if that would do the trick. They probably just need freshen up, and since you want them "relaxed", I would try to wash them, but again, very gently and hand towel dry and lay out.
