Ironing a shirt properly
For a flawless finish, make sure the shirt is slightly damp. If dry, use a water spray to moisten the fabric. Adjust your iron to the appropriate setting depending on the fabric (cotton, linen, or synthetics). Start with the collar, ironing from the outside in. Move on to the sleeves, then the body of the shirt. Follow the seam lines to avoid creating new creases. Use the tip of the iron to finesse details like pockets. Once ironed, hang the shirt immediately on a hanger to preserve its shape.
Note: Ironing is always faster and more effective when the fabric is slightly damp. A steam generator iron is ideal, though a manual spray bottle works just as well.
