IRONING SHIRTS
•
Begin with the collar and work toward the middle from the outer edges. Iron lengthwise,
not in circles.
•
Lay shoulder over narrow edge of the board and iron one side of the front. Then iron the
shoulder, across the back (below the collar line), the other shoulder and the remainder of
the front.
•
Iron sleeves and cuffs, working down from the underarm seams. To remove creases, shift
the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out.
•
Iron body of garment, from half of the front around the back, then second half of front. If
your shirt does not open, slip over end of ironing board and iron front and back in turn.
IRONING PANTS
•
Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.
•
Pull waistband on pointy end of the board, as if you're "dressing" the ironing board. Iron
upper-front part of the pants, including the waistband.
•
Place pants parallel to ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same
direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg.
•
Take cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part of the
leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg.
