How To Press A Shirt - Dress Sharp!
Pressing a dress shirt is easy if you know the simple steps I
use. By using steps dry cleaners use, you can press your shirt
while your coffee is being made in the morning!
Step 1 - If you are pressing a laundered shirt with wrinkles,
spray the whole shirt with the spray bottle until damp. Doing
this will give you the best result. Steam from irons aren't
always strong enough to take out the creases when the shirt is
dry.
Step 2 - Set the iron temp to cotton without steam. Press collar
and cuffs first since they don't wrinkle much once dry.
Step 3 - Press the shoulder area followed by sleeves. Some
prefer no crease on the sleeves, if so, press the sleeve up to
the lengthwise edge then rotate to finish pressing the wet edge.
Step 4 - Press the back. You don't have to do a perfect job since
back is almost always wrinkled by the car seat on the way to work.
Step 5 - Press the front. Focus on the chest area and less on
the lower part of the shirt.
- Starch spray cans are great for giving little more stiffness to
the collar and cuffs.
- Avoid shirts made with man-made fabrics which are tougher to press.
100% cotton shirts are the best!
