Thought this was funny and shared with hubby. He pointed out that vodka is made from potatoes, which are mostly starch.

I have a friend who used to work in the fabric industry that told me to use water and vinegar. I keep a spray bottle next to my iron with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water. I lightly spray, let it sit a minute, then iron. The smell disappears after a while.
I had complained to her about a panel that had the fold crease down the middle. It took it out. Remember to press - not pull and push the iron across the fabric - it will distort it.

This was going to be my suggestion to use vinegar and water also. I have used this to get a crease out where a hem on pants or skirts has been, sometimes I have had to do it a couple of times, but it has always worked to get the crease out - should work on the fabric. Of it doesn't work at first then I would suggest washing the fab again, since you used the press free or whatever you used when you ironed it, and then only use the vinegar and water. Good luck, hope it all works out well for you.
