Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out the
laundry properly after washing. Put the garments on hangers to make them
dry naturally with less wrinkles.
Shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts such as collar, cuff links and sleeves.
Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back. By doing this, you prevent
wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming
ones.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and iron from the
outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the
collar and press the edge for a crisp nish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and
faster ironing.
