1.Check to see if the clothing can be ironed. Look at the tags to see if they provide ironing instructions. If they don't tell you what setting to put your iron, then look to see if they indicate what material the fabric is made of; some irons have setting based on type of material.
2.Set up the ironing area. Use a sturdy table or ironing board.
3.Fill the iron’s water reservoir, if it has one. Make sure that you use filtered water to avoid calcium build-up in your iron, which could end up clogging the iron's steam spouts.
4.Set the iron on the appropriate setting and let it heat up.
5.Begin ironing by laying your garment flat on the board. Make sure there are no wrinkles.
6.Begin ironing. Do not let the iron sit still on the garment.
7.Turn the clothing over and iron the other side.
8.Hang the clothing on a hanger immediately to prevent re-wrinkling.
