The Proper Way to Iron Your Pants

!±8± The Proper Way to Iron Your Pants

Not everyone was taught how to iron their pants. In fact, I know that many of my friends have not a clue about where to start or what to do when their pants are wrinkled. So what do they do? Nothing! They where their pants as is and excuse me but that is tacky and just makes them look like what they are...sloppy and lazy.

There really is no wrong way to iron your pants but I'll try to explain it so you can follow along and make it easier and so it won't take you as much time to do. But after you read this, you will have no excuse as to why your pants are wrinkly anymore!

The first thing you need to do after you have your iron and iron board out and ready to go is to look to see what kind of material your pants are made out of so you know what setting to set your iron. It should say on your tags on your pants. Go ahead and preheat your iron accordingly.

After your iron is preheated and filled with water, test it on a small spot to make sure that it is not too hot. Now take the waste band side of your pants and slide them into the pointed part of the ironing board. Go ahead and iron the waste band and all the rest of the pants that are actually exposed on the ironing board.

Now put both pant legs together and put the entire pants on to the ironing board. Make sure to line up the creases that are already there.

Once the pants are on the board, take the top pant leg and fold it up towards the waste band. Now iron the bottom pant leg from the leg all the way to the crotch. Flip the pants over and repeat this process for the other leg.

Once you have ironed both of the inside seams of the pants, take them off the board carefully. Now you want to smooth out your pants and lay the pants back on the board, this time the outside of the pants exposed. Go ahead and iron the outside of the one leg, turn it over and press out the other half.

When you have completed the iron, and if you are not going to wear them right away, be sure to immediately hang them up to avoid them getting wrinkled again.
