Hi, I'm Marti. On behalf of expertvillage.com I'm going to share with you today how to press a pair of pants. We are going to be pressing a pair of blue jeans using starch. My iron is out of water so I'm going to be placing water in my water place. In this particularly iron I can use straight tap water as long as there is not to many mineral deposits you want to check your iron. Many of them are for distill water only distill water you can get at your grocery store so I got some water in my resorvior. It's just going to take a second to warm up. As that is heating up we are going to share with you one of my secrets. I make my own starch you can do that easily while using cornstarch and water. A tablespoon of starch a cup of water gently shake it together and you have your own homemade starch you don't have to buy a can to get the same effect, we'll be using that today.
