TIPS : Good tools, good organization = Time saving and work efficiency
-
Time yourself: ironing a shirt should not take more than 5 mn
-
When possible try to iron when items are still damp
-
Check the care label for temperature
-
High end shirts have collars plastic stays, which should be removed before washing and put back in place before ironing
-
Dark colors should be ironed inside out
-
When using easy iron spray or starch, spray on one side and iron on the opposite side
-
To prevent collars, hems, cuffs, from puckering: iron on the wrong side first
-
Try to find out if your guest like the pleats or not on the sleeves
-
It’s a good investment to buy a sleeve ironing board (if you don’t have any : you can insert a rolled-up towel in the sleeve, so you can press without leaving creases)
-
A protective Ironing scorch saving pad can be a useful tool as well .
