on 5/26/2007 Clean your iron of starch residue with white vinegar. Use also to get ironed in wrinkles out by dabbing lightly onto wrinkle and re-ironing. Warning, it doesn't smell that great, so let it evaporate before wearing.

on 9/13/2006 Don't use rain water. Over time the acid in the rain will eat the shirt away. They got away with it in the old days because there wasn't the same pollution there is today.

on 7/12/2006 Consider turning shirts inside out to iron. There are two reasons: The seams will be crisper because the seams are stitched from the inside (thus they line up perfectly). Also (especially with colored shirts) spray starch residue is on the inside. No need to worry about unsightly starch reside.
