HOW TO IRON YOUR CAFÉ COTON SHIRT?
Iron: Make sure your iron is clean and in good condition. A steam iron is ideal for getting rid of the most stubborn wrinkles.
Filling the Water Tank: If your iron has a steam function, fill the tank with water, preferably demineralized to avoid limescale buildup.
Temperature Setting: Select the appropriate temperature according to the fabric of your shirt. For a cotton shirt, a medium to high temperature is recommended.
Step 1
Prepare Your Shirt
Place the shirt on the ironing board. If it is very wrinkled, you can lightly spray it with water to make ironing easier.
Step 2
Iron the Collar
Start with the collar. Iron the inside of the collar first, then the outside. This ensures a neat and well-defined collar.
Step 3
The Sleeves and Cuffs
Lay one sleeve flat on the board. Iron from the cuff towards the shoulder to avoid creases. For the cuffs, iron the inside first, then the outside. Repeat these steps for the other sleeve.
Step 4
The Back
Position the shirt to iron the back. Start at the shoulders by placing one of the shoulders on the rounded end of the board, then iron downwards. Move the shirt to cover the entire back surface.
Step 5
The Front
Iron one half of the front of the shirt, then the other. Be sure to iron around the buttons carefully, avoiding direct contact with the iron to prevent damage.
Step 6
The Finishing Touches
Check for any remaining creases and ensure your shirt is immaculate and ready to wear.
Ironing While Damp: For easier ironing, do it when the shirt is still slightly damp.
Using Steam: Steam is particularly effective for removing stubborn creases.
Iron Maintenance: Regularly clean your iron to prevent limescale buildup that can stain your clothes.
