How to Iron a Shirt  
HOW TO 

Tags: iron, shirts, clothing, wrinkles

Don't know how to get the wrinkles out of that shirt or screw up every time you try? Here are the basics to good shirt ironing.

	Begin with the inside and outside of the collar. Start with the tips and work your way to the back.
	Do the cuffs well. They are highly visible when worn.
	Slide the shoulder onto the end of the ironing board.
	Sleeves: Start at the cuff opening and move to the top.
	The body: Start at the top and go down. The back is low priority--it will wrinkle.
	Moisten your clothes first: Dry wrikles are set wrinkles. Use a spray bottle or sponge.
	Upgrade to a nice iron. Cheap irons leak.
	Put foil under the cover of the ironing board. Speeds up the process by deflecting heat upward.
	Line up your pants crease or shirt sleeves on the boatds edge to reduce the chance of a crooked crease.
	Homemade starch: 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 cups of water in a spray bottle.
	Ignore the phone. Distractions lead to burns.
