Ironing may not be the most exciting chore in the world, but we’ve all got those occasions where we’ve got to look our best. Nothing says class and professionalism quite like freshly pressed suits, blouses, slacks, and skirts. However, what many people don’t know is that there’s a fine art to ironing. Don’t wait until five minutes before your big work meeting or that fancy holiday party to figure out how to get your clothes looking their best – learn now!
Tips to ironing in your Lady Lake apartment include:
- Use the right setting for the right material. For instance, never use a wool setting for silk – you’ll scorch your fabric.
- Begin with lower temperature items. Start with silks and work your way up to cottons, which require higher iron temperatures.
- Don’t forget to steam. Keep the steam compartment on your iron filled with water.
- A few spritzes of water from a spray bottle help release wrinkles.
- No starch spray? Toss a tablespoon of cornstarch into your water bottle.
- Iron collars and hems on the wrong side to keep them from puckering.
- Roll up a washcloth and place it in a sleeve before ironing to avoid creases.
- Secure pleats in place with paper clips while you iron.
- Slip aluminum foil under the ironing board cover. The foil transmits heat to the underside of the fabric as you iron the top.
