IRONING PANTS
•
Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.
•
Pull waistband on pointy end of the board, as if you’re “dressing” the ironing
board. Iron upper-front part of the pants, including the waistband.
•
Place pants parallel to ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same
direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg.
•
Take cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part
of the leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg.
