How to Iron a Shirt

It’s one of those chores that most of us would rather avoid. But ironing a shirt doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are my tips for making it a simple task!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Iron
• Ironing Board
• Shirt
• Water sprayer

1. Begin with a damp shirt.
2. Spray the shirt with water.
3. Using a iron on a high setting and an ironing board with a cover, begin ironing the inside of the cuffs and up the tabs of the sleeves.
4. Turning the tab side of the sleeve upward, iron up the inside of the sleeve. Repeat with the other sleeve.
5. Next, fit the shirt smoothly over the end of the board and iron the neck.
6. Iron the inside-front panels. You can iron right over the buttons and the pocket from the backside of the fabric.
7. Next, move on to the right-front panel, the back of the shirt, the side seams, and around to the left-front panel.
8. Hang your perfectly pressed shirt on a hanger, buttoning the top button to hold it in place.
