Ironing Tips For Professional And Business Suits

1. Preparation

Check the clothes: Before ironing, carefully check whether the professional clothes or business suits have stains, broken or loose buttons. If there are stains, clean them first to avoid solidification during the ironing process.

Choose the right ironing equipment: It is recommended to use a steam iron, which can better soften the fibers and reduce damage to the clothes. At the same time, prepare an ironing board to ensure that its surface is flat and clean.

Adjust the iron settings: According to the material of the suit, such as wool, blended, etc., adjust the temperature and steam volume of the iron. Generally speaking, the temperature of wool materials should not be too high to avoid scalding the fibers.

2. Ironing the top

Ironing the collar: Turn the collar up and iron from the back, first iron the collar seat part, then iron the collar surface. Use the tip of the iron to handle the corners of the collar to keep the collar crisp. If the collar of the shirt has a collar support, you can insert the collar support before ironing for better results.

Shoulder ironing: Place the shoulders of the jacket on the edge of the ironing board, let the shoulders droop naturally, and gently iron from the inside to the outside and from the front to the back, paying attention to keeping the rounded shape of the shoulders and not pressing out obvious wrinkles.

Sleeve ironing: Iron the back of the sleeve first, then the front. For suits with cuffs, iron the cuffs first, then the main body of the sleeve. You can lay the sleeve flat on the ironing board and move the iron along the length of the sleeve, paying attention to keeping the sleeve straight.

Front and back ironing: Start from the back of the jacket and iron the large areas such as the back and front in turn. Lay the jacket flat and move the iron steadily from top to bottom and from left to right to allow the steam to penetrate evenly. For places with pockets, carefully iron the edges of the pockets, but do not press too much to avoid deformation of the pockets. Finally, gently iron from the front again to make the surface flatter and smoother.

3. Ironing of trousers

Ironing of trouser waist: First, turn the inside of the trouser waist upwards and iron along the edge of the trouser waist with an iron. Be careful not to stretch the trouser waist and keep its original size.

Ironing of trouser legs: Lay the trousers flat on the ironing board and iron the inner seams of the trousers first to align the inner seams of the two trouser legs. Then iron the front of the trouser legs, moving the iron from the trouser legs upwards to keep the trouser legs straight. For trousers with creases, iron according to the original crease position to ensure that the creases are clear and neat.

4. Precautions

Temperature and pressure control: During the entire ironing process, the temperature and pressure of the iron should be accurately controlled according to the different parts and materials of the clothes to avoid scalding or damage to the clothes.

Moving iron: Keep the iron moving and do not stay in one place for too long to prevent local overheating or shining.

Cooling and finishing: After ironing, let the clothes cool naturally, then hang them up or stack them neatly to avoid wrinkles again.
