well if you have to be ironing your clothes from know on buy a board, it´s a lot easier.and a steam iron , ask in the shop if they can show you the way it works, okay ready ? start with the the front , i´ll tell you easy way you will learn the more you iron, the front lay one half of your shirt on the board try keeping the top of the shirt tight against the curve of the board on your left hand side , this will stop the shirt from falling of. once you have ironed that first half pull the shirt towards you and iron the back then pull again so you come to the other front half of the shirt keeping the shirt tightly over the curve of the board,. How are we doing so far? . Then take one arm lay it flat on the board and iron it ,do the same with the other one & last of all do the coller, iron the back of the collers so you don´t put any creese into it and that´s it . It´s not perfect but to begin with it´s fine .keep practicing and you´ll have a perfect shirt .Why pay for dry cleaning when you can do it yourself

Unfortunately, many shirts do need ironing - but if you learn to do it yourself, you'll save enough on dry-cleaning to buy several more.
Instructions:
STEP 1: Find the tag on your shirt that indicates what it's made of.
STEP 2: Plug in the iron and set the dial to the recommended setting for that fabric. 100-percent cotton and linen need a high setting; wools and cotton blends call for medium heat; polyester, rayon, nylon, silk, acetate and acrylic all need a low heat setting.
STEP 3: Fill the iron with distilled water if you will be using the "steam" setting on cottons or linens.
STEP 4: Iron the back of the collar first, then the front, taking care to iron in from the edges a little at a time to avoid creases.
STEP 5: Open cuffs fully. Iron inside first, then outside.
STEP 6: Iron sleeves after smoothing them flat to avoid creases. Do sleeve backs first, fronts second and take extra care on armhole seams.
STEP 7: Hang shirt over board so that one front panel of the shirt can be extended flat (collar at narrower end of board). Iron from shoulder to shirttail.
STEP 8: Rotate shirt over board so that you iron the back next, and the other front panel last.

I WOULDNT GO TO THE DRY CLEARNERS , YOUD ONLY BE BUYING THE SHIRT AGAIN PLUS THEY MIGHT USE CHEMICALS. GET A STEAM IRON AND A FLAT BOARD OR IRONING BOARD AND PUT A TOWEL ON IT . ACTUALLY A GIRLFRIEND WOULD HELP ! ALSO.DO THE COLLAR LAST AND THE FRONT , I THINK !

just get an iron plug it in put the clothes on the ironing board (if you dont have that just put them down on something flat that you wouldnt mind if it got scorched) and then rub it around
dont leave the iron on, dont leave it sitting on the clothes, dont keep it in one place too long on the clothes

No, you're incorrect for having greater little ones than you're able to looking after. it is not your older young little ones' job to be a discern. in case you may desire to no longer seem after 12 young little ones without "ending up in well-being midsection each 12 weeks" then you definately do not have had 12 young little ones. your little ones could desire to be doing chores linked with their very own use of the family individuals ecosystem, including cleansing their very own room. maximum appropriate now you're in accordance with a 17 twelve months previous to maintain your loved ones working. that isn't any longer honest. A 17 twelve months previous could desire to be feeling valuable that she would be ready to go away abode at 18 and flow to college or to her own residence, nor nerve-racking who'll get her little brothers and sisters breakfast if she isn't there.

When I was a student, lazy as I was, I would dampen my clothes and lay them flat under my matress. After a night of me sleeping on them they'd be crease free.
