Don't overload your washing machine This can cause clothes to crease. Make ironing easier by leaving plenty of room for clothes to tumble around in the washing machine or dryer. Take either sleeve by the seam and lay the whole sleeve flat on the ironing board. Then simply move your iron from the top of the sleeve (where it is connected to the body of the shirt) to where it meets the cuffs.

I remember in the Marines using cans of spray starch in an effort to get the perfect “crisp” look; however, just as often I would overdue it and be dealing with flakes due to over starching or not letting it set in. Use a low temperature setting. Move in gentle strokes, never lingering on any one spot.

How to iron a dress shirt As well as the usual steam settings, there’s also a turbo steam button located under the handle for an extra burst. It also has a MicroScale filter, which helps to reduce limescale stains on your clothes by filtering out limescale particles – making it one of the better choices on the market if you live in a hard water area. Water tank capacity: To avoid adding extra weight, look for a small tank (although not so small that you constantly have to refill it).Whether you're ironing bed sheets or clothes, it's best to iron cotton while it's still damp. Iron on a high heat and use lots of steam. You can also use a starch spray if you want to leave your clothes looking extra fresh. Simply dissolve one tablespoon of cornflour in two cups of water, add to a spray bottle and spray the garment a few seconds before you start ironing. It will keep your soleplate clean too.

To get crisp, long-last results, try setting up a couple of chairs next to your ironing board. This way, once you've finished ironing one section of a large item, you can simply fold it up and place it onto the chairs before moving onto the next one. Soleplates are almost inevitably ceramic on modern irons and a larger plate will mean faster ironing. Of course, the bigger the plate, the larger and heavier the iron will be, so do consider this if weight is likely to be an issue for you. Turn the shirt and iron from the right side to smooth out any remaining wrinkle by ironing in a downward motion. 2.

Use your iron’s spray feature to lightly dampen areas of fabric before passing the iron over them for smoother results .

Personally I recommend Steamfast’s compact travel iron. It is incredibly small, lightweight, hot, produces an decent amount of steam, and is value priced. However what impressed me most was the great customer service I recently received from this American business. I was having mechanical problems (or so I thought–turns out I didn’t know how to use it properly) and thought it was going to be a hassle to exchange it as I had waited 8 months to report the problem. Instead, I spoke with a very nice customer service rep who resolved my issue and within minutes shipped me a new one–no questions asked. You have to love that! We were really impressed with the huge amounts of steam, which was consistent and easily controlled with an on/off button. There are three settings for steam on the iron and a concentrated steam zone at the front of the iron to make it easier to remove creases. It also works as a vertical steamer, although you’ll probably still need to iron the fiddlier parts of a garment flat.
