IRON YOUR SHIRT IN 5 QUICK STEPS

IRON YOUR SHIRT IN 5 QUICK STEPS

BEFORE YOU START IRONING

  • Position 2 dots (warm)
  • Use a good iron


STEP 1: THE BORDER

  • First the inside
  • Then the outside.
  • Make a nice fold so that the points of your board point downwards
  • From the tip of the collar to the center. This way your visible wrinkles will reach the points of your collar.

 

STEP 2: THE CUFFS

  • Open the cuff buttons and open the cuff.
  • Iron on the inside, working towards the center.
  • Don't put too much pressure on the buttons, and gently iron around them
  • Go straight to the sleeve, then grab the other side of the shirt


    STEP 3: THE SLEEVES

    • First leg the sleeves nice and straight, from the top of the shoulder to the intersection under the armpit
    • Work from the cuffs to the shoulder
    • Turn the sleeve over and check if this side needs a quick treatment



      STEP 4: THE FRONT AND BACK

      • Start at the row of buttons and work from bottom to top
      • Move the shirt around to keep the fabric straight and tight.
      • This is how you iron the back and then end up at the front again, with the buttonholes.


        STEP 5: THE SHOULDERS

        • Fold the shoulder of the shirt over the short side of the ironing board
        • Work from the outside in
        • Finally, turn the shirt to get both the front and back of the shoulder nice and tight


          TIPS:

          • Iron your shirts immediately after washing, while they are still damp
          • Do not tumble dry shirts. This is not good for the quality, and makes ironing a nightmare
          • Do you iron later? Then immediately blow out the shirt and hang it on a clothes hanger
          • Do you iron a crease in your shirt? Then wet it and iron out the fold
          • Dark fabrics: only iron the outside
