It is no secret that most women do not like to iron. Moreover, if you ask the ladies themselves, ironing what kind of garment makes them work the most, the overwhelming majority will agree that it is most difficult to smooth the pants, especially if they are with arrows. The funny thing about this fact is that many modern ladies often do not even know how to iron the hands even on their trousers, so that the perfect result will come out, although in reality this action is not so difficult.
Preparatory stage
In order to make the process of ironing pants as correctly as possible, You need to perform a number of preparatory manipulations:
- the ironing surface is covered with a cover or a special dense type blanket;
- it is better to choose an iron that has a steam function;
- during ironing it is recommended to cover the pants with a thin layer of gauze;
- use a liquid sprayer if necessary.
You must install on your iron that temperature mode that corresponds to the type of fabric of the pants. The necessary information is indicated on the label that is sewn on the back of the pants. Therefore you should not cut it, but it is better to save it if it does not prevent you from wearing pants. If such a tag is absent (it may fade from washing), then it is worth remembering: such types of natural fabrics as flax, cotton and wool are best ironed at elevated temperatures, but synthetic materials, on the contrary, at reduced.
When ironing, your pants will need to be turned inside out, ironing your pockets neatly, do not forget about the lining, paying attention to the belt. The back seam should also be well smoothed. All the manipulations are done carefully, since it will not be easy to smooth over incorrectly pressed trousers after. Before starting the process, carefully review your pants. They must be completely clean, because even a small smudge can be imprinted tightly into the material. The appearance of the pants will be spoiled, and it will be quite problematic to remove such a stain later.
Trouser pockets and seams should be empty. Often, after washing, you can find twisted fibers or a pile of paper in them that can interfere with the ironing of your pants.
If linen or corduroy pants are dry, just spray a little with water or steam over iron., then fold and hang on the back of the chair for half an hour. To prevent moisture from evaporating, wet pants can be folded into a bag. It is recommended to wrap the silk in a slightly wet towel, as it will be very difficult to iron the dry product made of such fabric.
Ironing process
Consider how to properly and as quickly as possible to stroke the classic men's pants.
- Start ironing from the top of the product.
- It is best to immediately moisten the lace (a special nozzle made of cloth), squeeze, and iron the belt with it, and also not forget about the lining and the available pockets.
- You should not press the heated iron to the product, otherwise the seams will be printed on the leg. Clothes made of cotton and linen can be safely ironed without a nozzle or gauze.
- Pants need to be ironed along the entire length, both front and back, while gently bending back all the seams, and ironing them at the end of the ironing with a little pressure. Do not forget to use the steam function.
- Next, turn the product on the front side. Pants are pulled onto the board or a special pad is placed under them.The iron will need to be rearranged frequently, as if you were stripping the cloth. Next, the trousers ironed with a turn on the ironing board around the axis, or quickly turn over on the table.
- After ironing, be sure to give the ironed product a little “rest” so that all the moisture “leaves” it and it cools down. If you want to wear the pants on yourself immediately, they can be very quickly wrinkled.

Turn the pants off again, and start ironing the arrows themselves. If you do not want them to come out double, do not move the sole of the iron at once along the entire length of the product, it is better to carefully iron the small fragments. If you want the arrows to be visible longer, rub the cloth from the inside with a dry piece of soap, and when ironing wet the gauze or other cloth with vinegar (dilute 10 g of vinegar in 1 glass of water). This solution will help you if glossy iron stains appear on the trousers.
After this, the product needs to be “cooled”, and then it can be folded into the cabinet. If the product is folded in a state that has not yet cooled, “wrinkles” may appear on it, and it will have to be ironed again.
