Before you start ironing, you should turn the shirt on the wrong side, because this way you can achieve the maximum effect in this business. You should start the process while the shirt is not completely dry, and it remains wet, because it will facilitate the task, as a last resort, you can use the built-in water sprinkler.

In order to carefully iron the long sleeves of the shirt, you should fold them as if in half so that the seam line is in the middle. Next, fold the sleeve over the seam and smooth the bend lines so that the iron does not touch the newly formed edges.

If you have a special device for ironing the sleeves, we recommend using it by simply pulling the sleeve over the top and carefully ironing it.

The principle of ironing a short-sleeved shirt is no different from a long one, since the models are identical in everything except the length of the sleeve.

For easier ironing, a linen shirt is best not to dry out completely, but to begin the process while it is still wet. As for the temperature of the surface of the iron, you can set the maximum temperature, because flax is quite resistant to high temperatures.

As in the case of a linen shirt, the silk product is best to start ironing when it is not completely dry, as a wet silk shirt is best ironed. If, on the other hand, you start the process when your product is already dry, it is better to sprinkle it with water and let it sit for a while in a collapsed form so that it becomes completely wet. The product should be ironed on a flat, smooth surface, turning it inside out and setting the temperature of the surface of the iron to about the average. It is best to iron the cotton shirt, covering it on top with a thin cotton cloth, to once again protect the product from possible damage.
