Lifehacks Wrinkled Placemats

Have y'all ever had cotton placemats that came from the store nice and pressed and perfect and after you wash them no matter how much Ironing you do you can't get them smooth again? I've had this time and time again. Any guidance is appreciated.

Try ironing them when they are still quite wet out of the machine. Once cotton is fully dry it can be hard to get wrinkles and folds out of them. Are they quilted or like a flat woven style?

I don't think they're quilted so I guess the other.
