How to iron? . how to prevent wrinkles in clothes after ironing?!?

Question

I have tried to iron my top and it got better but i could still see wrinkles on the clothes, is there anyway to prevent that from happening?!

Answer 1

1. Follow the manufacturer's instruction on the tag regarding how to iron the garment.

2. If you don't want the wrinkles to set back in, make sure you use fabric softener when you rinse the garment in the washer or dry the clothing in the dryer, then use fabric sizing or fabric starch when you iron the garment. There is liquid starch available, but most people find the spray starch or spray fabric sizing to be most convenient

3. Use the wrinkle guard setting on the dryer if you have this feature on your dryer at home

1. Check the tag. It should say if it can be ironed and also tell you what setting to use on the iron.

2. Fill the iron's water reservoir (if it has one) with rainwater or distilled water to minimize mineral buildup on the iron and on the clothes. If you want to add a pleasant scent to your clothes, soak a few sprigs of lavender into the water before you put it into the iron.

3. Set the iron on the right setting. Plug it in and let it sit upright. Wait until it heats up. Many irons have a little light that will light up to show the iron is heating up. It will go out when the iron has reached the right temperature.

4. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the ironing board. The foil will heat up so that it's almost like ironing the garment from both sides at the same time. You can also purchase a silver ironing board cover that accomplishes the same task.

5. Put the piece of clothing on the ironing board. Put it wrong side out (so that the side that touches the iron is the same side that touches your body). If the fabric is cotton or silky rayon, put the right side out instead.

6. Spray starch. This is optional, but will make your clothes feel more "crisp". You can make your own starch spray by completely dissolving one tablespoon of cornstarch in two cups of water. Put this solution into a clean spray bottle and lightly mist the fabric right before you iron on that spot.

7. Start ironing. Always keep the iron moving; never let it sit still over any part of the garment. If there's a stubborn wrinkle that refuses to iron out, spray some water on it and iron over with steam. Begin at the big areas and finish with the corners. Once you iron a section, move the garment away from you. If you move it towards you, it may wrinkle as you lean over it and possibly push it against the ironing board.

8. Turn the fabric over and iron the right side. This will ensure that the right side is immaculate and any creases you accidentally create are ironed to the back, where it matters less. However, ironing both sides is optimal. If you used the aluminum foil as outlined earlier, you may not need to iron the other side. Cotton and silky rayon shouldn't be ironed on the wrong side at all. Polyester can be ironed on either or both sides; if in doubt, iron the wrong side and stop there.For delicate fabrics or those with vibrant colors you'd like to preserve, try to get all the wrinkles out by ironing the wrong side (ironing on the right side can give dark colors an unwanted sheen).

9.Hang or fold the garment immediately after ironing. Don't forget to turn off the iron and empty the water out. Leaving water in the iron for extended periods of time can cause rust to form inside. That rusty water can shoot out with the steam next time and stain your clothing.

Good Luck :]

Answer 3

Try using starch. Aside from the smooth, crisp edges it gave to clothing, it served a practical purpose as well. Dirt and sweat from a person's neck and wrists would stick to the starch rather than fibers of the clothing, and would easily wash away along with the starch. Then, after each laundering, the starch would be reapplied.

Answer 4

Use the steam, and mist it a little while ironing.

Hang it up, don't fold and stuff in a drawer. OR if you must fold it, make sure it's cool before putting away. Also folding clothes right when they come out of the dryer helps. If I leave stuff sit in the basket for like a day it gets wrinkled. I have t-shirts that aren't "good" enough to make hanging necessary, and they don't get wrinkled in the drawer. But I do let them sit on the bed for a little while to cool, before putting them away.

Other than that, buy some of that Downy Wrinkle Releaser
