Each pair - an individual approach, or how to iron trousers correctly

Pants are modern versatile clothing. They have long ceased to be a part of the men's wardrobe. There are no age restrictions for this outfit.

Trousers are different: business, home and work. And they are also light and warm. They are worn at different times of the year. But all models have one thing in common - they require ironing.

Well-ironed clothes have always been a person's face. With the development of industry, ironing outfits has become more difficult. Each fabric needs an individual approach. Read about how to iron your trousers in the article.

Training

In order to iron any things at home, you need equipment:

• iron or steamer,
• ironing board.

For ironing small parts, use a sleeve ironing device... This is a small ironing board that comes with the standard ironing board. Depending on the material of the trousers, you may need a terry towel and white gauze.

Between the plywood base and the fabric, the board is laid with batting. The ironing surface must be smooth and level.

Before ironing, prepare the workplace:

1. Place the ironing board so that you can iron without bending over. Otherwise, the back will quickly get tired.
2. The light should come from the left side. This will allow you to see the fabric to be ironed better.
3. Before work, it is imperative to check electrical appliances. The soleplate and container must be clean by heating the iron to maximum temperature and letting off steam to ensure this. If limescale emissions go with the steam, then it is time to clean the container.

   The cleanliness of the sole is checked by running a hot iron over white gauze. There shouldn't be any traces.

4. To clean the iron and steam generator, use an aqueous solution of citric acid. Dissolve 10 grams of citric acid in a glass of water. Pour the solution into the container of the iron or steam generator. Turn the appliance on at full power. After it turns off by itself, wait until it cools down, drain the water and rinse the container. The soiled sole of the iron is cleaned with a special pencil. The iron gets very hot.Draw on the sole with a pencil and wipe it with a clean cloth.
5. Clothes to be ironed must be washed. A hot iron will reveal any existing dirt. These stains are difficult to remove. Better to avoid them.

Pants for men and women: step-by-step instructions for ironing

In order to iron the trousers, they must be laid out on the ironing board. The layout depends on the desired result.

With arrows

If supposed iron on trousers arrowsthen the belt and loops are steamed first... It is best to use a sleeve iron for this purpose.

If not, then the trousers are pulled over the narrow part of the ironing board. Then they are completely laid on the board.

To do this, the side seams are precisely combined and one leg is placed on top of the other. First, the side of the upper leg is steamed. Then it is folded back and the inside of the lower leg is steamed.

Then the pants are turned over and the process is repeated on the other side. This procedure allows you not to spoil the previously ironed arrows..

And without

If you need to iron trousers without arrows, then they do it by steaming the trousers one by one. Particular attention should be paid to the seams.

A hemming tape is sewn onto the bottom of classic men's trousers. This is done to make the bottom heavier. Hemming tapes are made of synthetic materials. Often when ironing at high temperature, the tape is pulled together, collecting the bottom of the legs.

To avoid this result, cover the steamed bottom of the product with a terry towel and hold it for 5 minutes. This allows the fabric to cool slowly and avoid scaling.

Women's trousers are hemmed with a simple hem. The bottom of the product is folded up 2 times. The edge is sewn with machine stitching.

If the legs are very narrowed, then you need to iron them from the bottom up... This is due to the fact that the difference between the seamy side and the front side of the fold can be up to 1 cm.If such trousers are soared parallel to the belt, the front side will receive a stretch and will give a gather.

When the iron moves from top to bottom, the fabric is stretched in the vertical direction, which will allow the front and back sides to be aligned.

Features for different types of fabric

Of great importance in the method of steaming is the material from which the product is made. Pants made from different fabrics need to be ironed differently.

Corduroy

Corduroy is a fluffy material. Normal stripping can damage the pile.

Corduroy products are ironed by weight. The steam iron should be kept 1 cm from the surface of the fabric.

If the corduroy is very thick, then cover the ironing board with a terry towel.

Trousers are laid out on it, having previously turned them inside out. Iron from the seamy side, setting the thermostat to the "cotton" mode.

Cotton

Cotton is a fairly resistant material. It is not difficult to iron it out. The iron is set to "cotton" mode. If the trousers are dry, then they are sprayed with water or use a steam attack.

Linen

The property of this natural material is strong crease and low susceptibility to other influences. When steaming, the clothes are sprayed with water and a steam attack is applied.

Silk

The thermostat is set to "silk"... Special attention is paid to temperature conditions in the care of silk trousers.

Pants washed in very hot water and steamed at high temperatures will become unusable. They will shrink.

It will be impossible to return the original view. If you have a handheld steamer, it is better to use it..

Chiffon

Chiffon trousers are best ironed with a handheld steamer. This will help you get out of trouble.

Polyester

This synthetic fiber is good because it has low crease.... But in retaliation for the positive quality, it does not iron well.

It is better to iron trousers made of polyester from the wrong side. At a low temperature, the wrinkled areas are not smoothed out, and at a large temperature, weasels remain on the trousers. If you need to smooth out the folds, then this should be done through cheesecloth.

From wool

Trousers made from good woolen fabric are great and low maintenance.

Iron them through gauze... Otherwise, weasels will remain on them.

The gauze is not wetted with water, but simply applied dry to the trousers. Set the "wool" mode and apply steam. If the temperature is not enough, then it can be increased.

Viscose

Viscose trousers you can not iron, the material practically does not wrinkle... But, if there is such a need, then they are ironed at an average temperature close to wool.

Jeans

Jeans are different in terms of material density, but in any case, they are cotton. They are ironed in the appropriate mode using steam.

When ironing jeans, you should first check for adhesion. To do this, iron the bottom or belt from the wrong side with a hot iron first. Everything will immediately become clear.

If the villi stick, then you will have to iron the jeans through gauze or from the wrong side.

Dark jeans are best ironed from the inside out... This will remove the white stripes from the garment. Seams and pockets are ironed first. At the end, go to the legs.

When is gauze needed?

A piece of white gauze is still an attribute for steaming clothes.

Gauze is needed if the surface of the product has at least a little hairiness... The thin fabric will relieve the pile from sticking and help to maintain the appearance of the product.

Gauze is necessary for ironing light-colored trousers, it will help to avoid stains that the iron can leave. It is used for wool and polyester garments to avoid weaseliness.

Instead of gauze, it is better to use a cut of madapolam... This material is called gauze. Its thickness is the same as that of gauze, and the weaving is slightly denser.

How to do without an iron?

There are trousers that don't need an iron. To a greater extent, this applies to narrow models made from natural fabrics. It is enough to put them on and walk around. The body temperature will be enough for them to smooth out all the wrinkles on the tissue.

To avoid working with the iron, trousers made of thick fabrics should be dried flat.... This will help them maintain their normal appearance.

3. Couples can help smooth the pants. You need to boil water in a saucepan. When the water boils, stretch the pants over the steam and hold.
