Hang it wrinkled and put on a hot shower or pop it in the dryer on low heat for just 3 or 4 minutes. Pull it out immediately and hang it promptly or lay it flat on a bed or the floor till you hang it.
If it cools crumpled it will still be wrinkled, just different ones. It has to cool flat.
I haven't tried this but I'll bet it would work. Hang it wrinkled and use the blow dryer on it to heat the wrinkles smooth.

Try ironing it. Or just be patient and the wrinkles will fall out in a few days...do people really care if a shower curtain liner is wrinkled? I hang up a pretty curtain over the liner and no one ever sees the liner.

Wash it on the gentle cycle in your washer, in warm water. Add fabric softener to the rinse cycle. Then pop it in the dryer on low heat for ten minutes. Check it. If it can take a little more heat, increase the temperature and dry it a few more minutes, but watch it carefully. Take out and immediately hang on your shower rod.

Any low amount of heat applied to the vinyl will allow the creases out without melting it. For example, an iron on its lowest setting might work.

Place in in your dryer to warm it up slightly, then immediately hang it up. The heat will relax and soften the plastic sothe wrinkles come out.

Throw it in the dryer on low heat for a few minutes and hang while still warm.....hopefully this will work for you.

you could put it in the dryer for a couple of minutes. if it's already hung up on the rod & you don't wanna take it down, use your blow dryer on it
