"Hi, I'm Marti. On behalf of expertvillage.com I'm going to share with you today how to iron a pair of slacks. This is a great tool safety item as well this is a silicon iron pad. You can find them at craft stores, fabric stores it's wonderful it allows me to put my iron face down so I don't have to worry about it getting knocked off on the floor. I'm going to turn my pant leg over again starting from the bottom of my pant leg work my way down up the side seam, running my iron along that crease so I make sure I set it. Heat helps relax cotton fibers cotton is a natural plant material and we can manipulate it many ways. This very prone to wrinkling but we can defeat that by heat. One you finished ironing your pants if you are not planning on putting them immediately go ahead and at the very least button them. Come down to your end it should be pretty easy at this point to see where your creases are, line up your pants fold them over and hand them up so that they don't get wrinkled. It also allows them to cool and it will maintain the shape."
