General principle of ironing – is to press the small details first, and then go to the larger areas.

Step 1 –  Preparation

Install ironing board and prepare the shirt for ironing.

Heat the iron: for cotton – 150°C, for linen – 220°C, for polyester – 110°C.

If the shirt is too dry, lightly spray some water on it to get a better finish and remove stubborn creases but usually a steam iron generally handles most items.

Step 2 – Collar

Pressing the collar. Beginning from the inner side of the collar. Then you can iron the front side.

Step 3  – Cuffs

Ironing the cuffs on the sleeves. First from the inner side, then on the front one. To do this we have to straighten out the cuff and press it in one movement.

Step 4 – Sleeves

Pressing the sleeves. To do this, please fold the sleeve along the seam, iron both sides closer to the stitch, trying not to make arrows on the central part of the sleeve. Then we fold sleeve so that seam was in the middle and on the bottom. Press carefully central part of the sleeve.

Step 5 – Large details

Iron one by one, straighten out each detail carefully on the iron board:

• Front right half
• Back
• Front left half
