Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out the

laundry properly after washing. Put the garments on hangers to make them

dry naturally with less wrinkles.

Shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts such as collar, cuff links and sleeves.

Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back. By doing this, you prevent

wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming

ones.

Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and iron from the

outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the

collar and press the edge for a crisp nish.

Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and

faster ironing.
