Ironing Tools for Dress Shirts

Hello, I'm Donna Beth Joy Shapiro on behalf of ExpertVillage.com and today I'm going to show you how to iron a shirt. In this clip we're going to talk about the tools you will need to iron a man's dress shirt. You need an iron. This is a steam iron, it's a nice heavy iron. The heavier the better. The higher wattage the better, this is 1750 watts, gives you a nice burst of steam, gives you a spray. You could use a less expensive iron. It does exactly the same thing. It may not get as hot as this particular iron but with the right starch or spray water you'll be able to get all the wrinkles out of your shirt. If you have a synthetic shirt and you want to give it a certain amount of shine you could using sizing. A sizing is used only on synthetic fabrics. For cotton shirts, linen shirts, starch gives the garment a lot of body. I like heavy starch, some people prefer the lighter starch. If you don't want to use either of those but you have very stubborn wrinkles you could just spray it with water. You also need an ironing board. This is a standard size ironing board. Ironing boards do come wider now and the bigger the board the better. The covers are a little hard to find for the bigger boards though. If all you have is a table top board you want to make sure that you put the board at the corner of the table so the garment can hang free over the side of the table. If you have this in the middle of the table you will not be able to get the wrinkles out of your shirt. You are going to keep wrinkling it every time you move it.
