removing creases in shower curtain

Just bought a new shower curtain, which is made from EVA (matt rubbery material) and it has lots of creases from the packaging. I have tried to iron it using a cool/warm iron, but don't really get anywhere.

Any ideas?

Cheers

    You could try hanging it up in a warm and steamy place :):):)

    I ended up putting the shower curtain up, but I think it may take quite some time for the creases to fall out. I was kind of looking for a quick fix as I have estate agents and potential buyers looking around my house pretty soon.

    Hi absolute0,
    Easy Peasy , What you need to do is take the curtain down,place it over the ironing board get an old pillow case and place this on top of the shower curtain, then iron straight on top of that, gradually turning the temperature of the iron up (depending on the thickness of the curtain and how stiff the folds are)
    The curtain will need to go quite soft to remove the creases.
    I have done this myself and it works.

    I would iron it as Sarah suggests but using a steam iron then put the curtain back up whilst still wet - after having a hot steamy bath!
