What is the best way to iron a men's dress shirt?

Answer 1

Take it to the cleaners and let them do it!!!!!

Answer 2

Iron the back side of the collar first, (the part that is not seen when worn normally). Lay it out flat, iron it flat, and it will naturally fold into shape again, so don't worry.

Next, do the yoke, (the back shoulders part of the shirt.)

Then I work on the front, starting on one side, and ironing around the back to the other front side.

Finally, the sleeves. Just lay them flat, iron flat as you can. If you want creases in the sleeves, iron them into it, otherwise, avoid ironing the edges so there is no crease.

It may not be perfect, but it'll be presentable for a meeting or an interview.

It’s easy and quick to iron a shirt perfectly, if you know the steps.

1. Begin with the collar unfolded. Smooth the collar and iron on the front and back by passing the warm iron firmly and slowly over the area.
2. Next, iron the neckband inside and out.

3. Gentle tension on the seams will help you get the shirt as flat and crisp as possible.
4. Now, Slide the collar over the triangular end of the board to iron the shoulder section, repeat for the other side.

5. Place one sleeve on the ironing board and flatten it by hand to remove the large folds. If you match the front and back seams of the armhole, the sleeve will lie flat. Pass the iron over the area until the wrinkles are gone.
6. Repeat the process on the other sleeve.

7. Open the shirt and align one of the side seams with the edge of the ironing board. Iron until smooth.
8. Slide the ironed section over the board and repeat the process until the back is flat. The triangular end of the ironing board makes it east to slide the back armhole seams onto the board.

9. Flip the shirt, placing one of the front sections onto the board, iron. Pay special attention to the button placket. Repeat on the other front side of the shirt.

A perfectly ironed shirt.

Answer 4

with so much convienence around, your local dry cleaners should do the trick: -it will save you time
-energy
-and it gets cleaned at the samed time
but if you really want to know, an iron always work well, remember though....when filling the iron with water use distilled water and a little starch spray helps as well
-start with the panels of the shirt first and the sleeves then the collar and shoulder area
-make sure you put creases in the sleeves..
-it doesnt have to be perfect, im sure your hubby would be just as happy either way

Answer 5

Iron with a cool iron, and you can also turn your hot water on in the bathroom with doors shut and steam the room up and the wrinkles come right out, ( while your busy getting other things ready to go).

Answer 6

I learned at a very young age how to iron shirts for my dad after my mother died. I was only 8 but my dad taught me this method...
Shoulder, shoulder, sleeve, sleeve, collar, and then finally body.
Hope this helps. I've been ironing mens shirts this way for 44 years.
