Thanks

And if you really need to iron them lay the iron on a wet piece of fabric rather than directly on the pants.

The two things I was going to say. Especially the second tip.

I would also add that I always iron my trousers inside out to avoid the inevitable shine which results over time.

Better always hang them upside down when you take them off, put them in the bathroom while you are having a shower, so that the vapor makes the wrinkles straight. And if you really need to iron them lay the iron on a wet piece of fabric rather than directly on the pants.

Shirts are better ironed the inside out first, because a very hot iron spoils the fabrics, and finally you can refine the work from the outside.

Excellent,Kegmama.Thanks,that's the sort of answer that i was after.I've already repped you for tonight but i would again if i could.

I rarely do myself and that's why i'm hopeless at it.

I usually just hang the item(s) in the bathroom and steam it up really well with the shower.

Ironing is fine if it gets you the job that you want.

i don't even have an iron. take your pants to the dry cleaners, they'll press them for you.
