IRONING TIPS FOR BACHELORS
Here is what I learned about ironing clothing.
ironing it all out
Step 1
The first step in successfully ironing your clothes is making sure you have the right tools for the job. You'll need a good iron, a hard surface to iron on (preferably an ironing board), and some spray starch.
Using starch will make your clothes feel crisp and look even better, while cutting down your ironing time considerably. Simply lay the garment down flat on the ironing board and spray the starch onto it from at least a foot away before you begin.
Step 2
Before you start ironing, make sure you read each clothing tag carefully to determine the fabric composition and ironing instructions for each item. Then simply choose your iron's settings accordingly.
Step 3
Remember not to leave the hot iron on the same spot for more than a few seconds, as it might burn and permanently damage your clothes.
Step 4
As well, it's best to iron clothes inside out in order to preserve the garment's color and prevent staining.
shirts
When ironing shirts, start with the collar; move the iron up and down smoothly around the entire area. Then shift down to the cuffs and sleeves.
Throughout the process, make sure to follow and maintain your shirt's natural creases. Once the sleeves are ironed out, move on to the buttonhole area (gradually iron around each buttonhole), after which you should move on to one of the front halves, and finally work your way around to the other front half.
Once you're done, make sure to properly hang your shirt.
pants
When ironing pants, start with the waistband and slowly move your way down to the cuffs (or hem).
Place your slacks parallel to the ironing board and slowly move the iron up and down, working your way over the entire wrinkled areas. Again, always make sure to follow and maintain your pants' natural lines and creases.
Once you're done, hang your pants without delay.
laundering tips
Before even whipping out your iron, make sure your clothes are in tiptop shape because ironing a dirty shirt could permanently set stains into the fabric.
When washing your clothing, always try to use high-quality detergent and fabric softener, as they will help keep the fabric in good shape for a longer amount of time. By using high-end products, your clothes will maintain their durability, which might also render them less likely to wrinkle. Furthermore, throwing a good fabric softener into the mix relaxes your garment's fabric, decreasing the chances of their getting wrinkled in the first place.
Also, get into the habit of hanging up or folding your clothes as soon as the drying cycle is over. Take your clothes out of the dryer as soon as they are dry (they're more likely to wrinkle when their left in the dryer), and that should make your ironing task that much easier.
be safe!
1)Never leave the iron unattended when it's on because it could tip over and burn something or worse, someone.
2)Remember to unplug the iron before filling it up with water.
3)To prevent your clothes from burning, place a cloth or towel between the garment and the iron (especially useful for delicate fabrics like linen or nylon).
4)Some articles of clothing such as suits and silk shirts are more difficult to iron, and require more care. For these pieces, consider a trip to the dry cleaner.
