Tip # 27 - Iron shirts like a pro
Start with the collar, working from the outer 
edges into the middle. Iron the shoulder 
next, followed by the cuffs and sleeves. Place 
the collar at the narrow end of the board so 
that one front panel of the shirt is extended 
flat. Iron the front panel from shoulder to 
shirt tail. Rotate to iron the back of the shirt. 
Rotate and complete the remaining front 
panel.

Tip # 34 - Tips for T-shirts
Straighten seams on t-shirts before hanging 
out to dry. To avoid damage to printed 
graphics and logos turn the t-shirt inside out 
and iron the reverse side of the print. Never 
iron areas of your t-shirt where perspiration 
marks are visible as the heat of the iron will 
permanently fix the stain.

Tip # 54 - Hung out to dry 
When washing is complete, remove shirts 
from the machine immediately, shake them 
out and hang them on coat hangers to air dry 
– this will keep wrinkles to a minimum.

Tip # 18 - Selecting the right temperature
If you are unsure of the correct setting for a 
particular garment, test a small area such as 
a seam or inside hem before ironing a visible 
area. Start with a low temperature and slowly 
increase the heat to find the best setting.

Tip # 33 - Don’t be afraid to iron silk
Don’t be afraid to iron silk. Although delicate 
in appearance, silk is the strongest and most 
resilient of all natural fibres. To achieve the 
best results, set to a silk setting and use 
regular shots of steam. Always use a pressing 
cloth to avoid shine marks.

Tip # 13 - Ironing the seam
Always press seams in the same direction 
they were made. When a garment is 
produced, the fibres will naturally settle in 
the direction they were initially pressed, so 
it’s best not to iron against the grain.

Tip # 26 - Sort types of fabric
Sort articles to be ironed according to the 
type of fabric. This will reduce the need to 
adjust the temperature constantly. Start with 
articles requiring lower temperatures and 
work your way through to items requiring 
higher settings.

Tip # 2 - Summer frocks and frills
Steam is the key when ironing delicate 
summer fabrics such as muslin, cotton and 
linen. Don’t press down with the iron, simply 
hover above the garment and steam it using 
a vertical shot of steam. Ruffling, netting, 
tulle or intricate hand detailing is also best 
ironed using this method.

Tip # 5 - Pressing your winter woollies
Steam is crucial when pressing your winter 
woollies. Woollen garments can be hung and 
steamed using the vertical shot of steam 
feature. After steaming, brush the garment 
with your hand to plump up woollen fibres. 
If ironing the garment flat it is best to use 
a pressing cloth. Don’t be afraid to apply 
pressure – steam and hold.

Tip # 42 - Table settings to impress
To avoid unwanted creases always iron 
your table cloth after taking it out of the 
cupboard. A dinner party is a special 
occasion, so treat the table cloth as you 
would your own outfit. For best results, lay 
towels across your table and iron the table 
cloth over the towels. This will save you time 
and ensure a beautifully presented table 
setting.
