How to properly iron a dress shirt

This is because it may be difficult to find a professional dry cleaner depending on the situation, and knowing how to iron by yourself can save time and money. Additionally, it can prevent unintended damage to your clothes. The satisfaction felt after ironing a shirt yourself is an added bonus.

1. First, prepare an ironing board. It is best to have one that allows you to spread the clothes out well.

2. For the iron, choose a high-quality iron with many steam holes or an iron with a steam station.

3. Prepare a pressing cloth for clothes that the iron should not touch directly.

4. Prepare a sleeve board to iron shirt collars or sleeves.

5. Prepare a press ham to iron curves that should not look flat when worn.

6. Prepare a clapper or point press for the creases on the front of pants.

7. Prepare a steam press.

8. Prepare a steamer to iron suit jackets or coats without direct contact with the fabric fibers.

9. Prepare a linen spray.
