How to Iron Shirts and
Pants Correctly

Not everyone is fond of ironing
clothes. However, isn't it nice to see
clean, crisp, and tidy clothing?
In theory, ironing is easy. However,
applying direct, high heat on textiles
is intense and must be done with
caution.
Ironing clothes takes skill, especially
when working with certain materials,
texture, and patterns that require
extra attention. Here are some quick
methods and tips to consider when
ironing your pants and shirts.
An ironing board
A clean iron, free from rust or
burnt starch
Water in a spray bottle
Some light starch (optional)
What Do You Need?
An ironing board is necessary,
although any old flat surface can do,
when in a pinch, as an emergency
measure.
Ironing boards are designed to make
ironing easier. They are also wrapped
in special material that is breathable
and flame-resistant to prevent a fire.
It is also crucial to keep your iron
clean because its sole plates can
become dusty, sticky, and oily.
For cleaning, you may scrub it using
baking soda mixed with water,
newspapers, vinegar, nail polish
remover, or detergent.
Before you iron your pants and
shirts, you have to read the
fabric label first. The tag will tell
you if the item can be ironed and
which setting you should use.
Tips to Consider Before Ironing
Your Clothes
Test the fabric by ironing a small
area. Generally, cotton and linen
are safe to iron and they look best
when ironed damp. You can
spray small amounts of water
before pressing.
Never iron velvet, wool, or
corduroy on any setting.
It is also best to iron items
inside out in case it leaves a
mark.
Be careful when ironing beads,
sequins, and other
embroidery. If the iron is too
hot, it could melt the hardware.
You may also press the
embellishments into the fabric,
leaving marks on the other side.
The use of a pressing cloth can be
helpful.
For delicate or embellished
fabrics, place a cotton pressing
cloth between the iron and
your clothing. Flour sacks work
best for this purpose.
How to Iron A Shirt
The proper ironing of a shirt should
take only about 3 minutes as it is the
simplest piece of a garment to do.
The best way to iron a shirt is to start
with the sleeves. They can hang off
the sides of the ironing board while
you iron the rest of the fabric.
Doing it the other way around will
cause wrinkles in other parts of the
shirt that you have already ironed.
Do not forget to open the cuffs and the
collar and lay them flat. This is
something that newbies frequently
forget. This will allow you to iron the
whole sleeve and collar perfectly.
Afterwards, hang the shirt for a few
minutes to cool down. As ironing
heats the fabric to an extremely high
temperature, the “flatness” of your
garment will start to show during the
cool-down phase. Wearing it
immediately can negate some of the
hard work you just put into ironing
your shirt.
How to Iron Pants
Have you heard people say “press”
instead of “iron” for pants? It is the
gentle pressure and steam that will do
most of the work, and not the heat
and motion of the iron itself.
When ironing pants, you have to
ensure that you create a perfect
crease.
You can do this by laying it flat on the
ironing board in a way that the leg
seams match.
The crease should go all the way up
the leg, which is approximately 6
inches below the waist.
Always set the front crease first. If
your pants need pleats, have the
creases reach the pleats.
If you have pressed in a crease, hang
your pants by the waistband for at
least an hour or two. Otherwise, allow
them to cool down for a few minutes.
Ironing pants and shirts can be an
easier task if you follow the right
procedures for every garment,
considering their fabric and design.
All these factors will determine the
right amount of heat and pressure to
use to get the best results.
Keep your pants and shirts
maintained with these easy ironing
tips. However, if you still do not know
how to iron shirts and pants correctly,
then taking help from expert ironing
services is the best recommendation.
We, at Kelly’s Dry Cleaners, use the
best steam irons with incredible
features to ensure that your garments
are well taken care of and will last a
long time.
