For men who always want to look their best it is not a trifle to iron a shirt. A real man should know how to do all kinds of things including ironing. You should be ready to take care of your clothes, thus, you will save time and money while buying new elements of your wardrobe.
With these easy tips you’ll learn how to not to lose heart and do your best while creating your ideal image
1. Take time - make sure you have enough time to do the job right.
2. If you have a cotton dress shirt, wash in cold water on delicate or wash by hand in the sink. Hang to dry and don't iron until it's almost completely dry.
3. Set up the ironing board and iron, ensuring the board is close to an electrical outlet so that the electric cord of the iron doesn't get tangled or encumbered when ironing.
4. Fill up the iron with water. This will help steam press your shirt.
5. Plug in the iron and set the fabric dial to "Cotton" (or other appropriate setting). The further the dial goes to the right, the hotter the iron gets. Too hot irons can ruin your shirt. Check the tag at the back of the collar for fabric type and temperature settings.
6. Stand the iron upright so the hot area does not sit on the ironing board. To avoid burning through the ironing board cover, never leave the iron sitting face down. Wait for the iron to heat up, flicking a few drops of water on the bottom - if it sizzles, it's ready. If it's hot, let's start!
7. If the shirt has a button-down collar, unbutton the collar. Then iron these parts of the shirt in order:
Collar - both sides Sleeves Back Front
8. Iron only one part of the shirt at a time, leaving the rest of shirt to droop off the side of the ironing board. On the collar and cuffs, start at the points and move inward.
9. Don't forget to iron all seams. They can be stubborn to get "straight" but will add a nice finished touch to the shirt.
10. After ironing hang the shirt on a hanger until you are ready to wear it. Turn the iron off and pull the plug.
11. Leave the iron sitting upright on the ironing board for 15-20 minutes to cool down. It is then safe to put away.
Sure thing, you may prefer giving your shirt to a professional cleaner launder and press it, but what if you don’t have enough time for the whole procedure? Nothing doing, but stand up, plug in the iron and learn!
