Every self-respecting man has shirts in his wardrobe, only not everyone can take care of them. For example, not every gentleman knows how to iron a shirt! As in any process, ironing has an algorithm that I will describe to you now. The general principle for ironing shirts is that small parts are ironed first, and then larger ones. Before ironing the shirt, it is necessary to prepare the workplace. Ideally, this is a good ironing board with an undeformed, even surface. In extreme cases, a table covered with a large bath towel will do. The iron for high-quality ironing should be equipped with a steam generator (this is when, when you press the button through the holes on the heating surface of the iron, a uniform stream of steam comes out, and not a bundle of steam coming out through the nose). If there is no such iron in the house, use a normal household iron, but make sure that it is not adhered. It is best to iron under-dried things when they are still a little wet. However, if you are already late and the thing is perfectly dry, then you should moisten it. To do this, before ironing the shirt, spray it with water and put in a bag for a couple of minutes. Note that special attention when spraying with water deserves the treatment of the sleeve of the shirt. So, the workplace is ready, the shirt is humidified, now we heat the iron to the desired temperature. For cotton, it will be 150 degrees Celsius, for flax 220, and those who want to iron polyester will have to set the sensor to 110 degrees.
So, we proceed directly to the process, but before that I will repeat again and answer the question - how to iron the shirt. Remember, we start ironing with parts that have a smaller area - these are collars of any model, racks, any kinds of cuffs. Try to lead the iron along the shared line - then the fabric will not undergo stretching. First of all, an iron collar, grabbing a stand. One small, but very valuable trick: handle the edge of the rack so that it remains bent inward, and then iron the cuffs. By the way, this process may differ depending on what types of cuffs you need to iron. If the cuffs are ordinary, just iron them first from the inside, and then from the outside. But if they are made for cufflinks, you will first have to iron the cuffs completely, and then bend them and iron the front part.
At the end - proceed to the sleeves. You can use a special ironing board to iron them, however, if one is not available, we will get by with a standard ironer. To do this, put the sleeve on the surface so that the seam looks up. Ironing. Now we shift the sleeve, the seam should be exactly on the side. Ironing. Turn the sleeve over for the third time, now the button bar should look up. Again ironed, and after - iron the floors. They should be ironed in turn, very carefully, efficiently, methodically “floating” on them with an iron.
Exercise extreme caution and virtuosity by circumventing buttons. It is very important to iron the armhole well (this is the place where the sleeve connects to the hollow). Do not forget to iron the yoke and the area under the collar. Pay special attention to the place at the base of the rack, because it depends on how the shirt sits when you wear it. Check it out. If there are special pockets in the collar, then you need to insert plates there that will give it stiffness. That's all, the shirt is ready for you to wear it!
You can iron several shirts at once, and then just take care of their proper storage. There are several simple rules that will keep shirts perfectly ironed even during long-term storage: each shirt should hang on separate shoulders in a spacious closet, it should not interfere with anything and threaten with folds .For this, between the shoulders should be distances of 5-6 centimeters.
