In my personal opinion, any man should follow his wardrobe himself. It's not enough how life will turn ... will throw you away from a caring mother, wife and dry-cleaner. How then to be? Really walk untidy, crumpled and dirty. Actually washing of shirts and socks, shoe cleaning and ironing of trousers are not too complicated. Believe me, a person with intelligence is able to master the elementary algorithm. Today I will tell you how to iron trousers from different fabrics.

Let's start with an example simpler. In hot weather it became very fashionable to dress in costumes made of natural cloth. And it is understandable - in such clothes you feel free and comfortable. However, flax and cotton have one, but very significant, drawback. Fabrics are strongly wrinkled and poorly smoothed. To make clothes look decent, you have to make a lot of effort. How to iron trousers made of flax so that they do not sweat too much? Try to proceed as follows. If you wash your things in the typewriter, do not use wringing. After it, clothes to put in order will be very difficult. In this case, a more delicate mode.

Begin to iron your pants while they are still a bit wet. As a rule, on the free summer models of natural fabrics arrows are not to be smoothed. Turn out the trousers on the wrong side and iron for start pockets, belt and other small parts (it is most convenient to do this on the ironing board with a special sleeve).
After that, walk through the soleplate of the iron on the front and back of the legs (the heating temperature for flax is selected as the maximum).

The most difficult in this case is to iron the side seams well. To do this, it is necessary to fold the trousers correctly. We fold the pant leg so that the outer and inner seams coincide. It is ironed with light pressure, trying not to shift the fabric. We repeat the same with the other. After that, fold up both pants, combine and iron them together.

Of course, it is most convenient to iron the side seams by pulling the leg on the "sleeve" of the board. But if you do not have such a device, you will have to tinker a little longer. After you have ironed the trousers, gently place them on the hanger so that they cool down after the iron, and if necessary, dry out.

Now a little about what to do so that the fabric does not crumple. Personally, I use linen starch for my light linen items. It is sold in hardware stores. Tara - aerosol can. Practical and economical. For a dark fabric this method does not suit, there is a white coating, even if it is splashed from the inside.
In some books on housekeeping I came across tips to use for this purpose sugar - a couple of teaspoons per liter of water. After this, pour the liquid into a conventional atomizer and spray the fabric. Only do this not at the beginning of ironing, otherwise get creases and creases, from which it will be difficult to get rid of.
