5) [dtstutz] 15-2-2009(27): Sorry, decrease is too generic to remember… I bought my sister a de-creaser (a clothing maintenance device similar to an iron) after she complained about her fur coats getting all creased and wrinkled. But it was only November, so it had to sit for a while under the Christmas tree in a wrapped box waiting for someone to open it up and use it to de-crease something.
