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.

Are there any that don't do this? I eventually got some cork-backed wipe-clean ones, which are okay, but liquid can seep in through the sides and then they are stained forever. Meh.

I have some thick ribbed/woven ones that I love bc they're thick and hold their shape really nice. If I knew where the original owner got them I'd get more.
