How to iron wool trousers. How to iron polyester pants

For a business person, trousers are almost the most important element of the wardrobe. A neat look and impeccably ironed arrows will tell about their owner even more than he can tell about himself. For this reason, it is so important to learn how to iron your trousers correctly in order to feel confident, and your colleagues have only a pleasant impression of you.

How to iron trousers: the necessary technique and work algorithm

In order to qualitatively iron trousers, you will need a good iron and a properly organized place for ironing. Without all this, it will not be possible to get rid of wrinkles and bruises, as well as to make beautiful, even arrows. Ideally, if the iron is equipped with a temperature switch and a steam supply system. If you have an old Soviet iron - it does not matter either. In this case, always use damp gauze folded several times. If you are a happy owner of a vertical steamer, then with its help you will be able to smooth out even the most difficult bruises right on the weight.
Using a special nozzle, you can make smooth arrows without distortions

It is better to iron trousers on an ironing board, but it can be quite successfully replaced by a kitchen table covered with a thick blanket. Auxiliary items will also come in handy:

  • iron;
  • tailor's pins or stationery clips (binders);
  • spray bottle with water;
  • terry towel;
  • sheets of cardboard or thick paper.

Pants, like other types of clothing, are recommended to be ironed inside out or through an iron. This will protect the fabric from the formation of las, shine and tan. Pins and clips are useful when ironing the arrows, as they are used to fasten the crotch and side seams. A spray bottle is used to additionally moisten the fabric so that the folds are ironed out better, and a terry towel facilitates the process of ironing some hard-to-reach places. A sheet of cardboard is placed under the burlap of pockets or seams so that they do not print on the outside of the trousers after ironing.
To iron trousers, you will need an iron, ironing board, ironing iron and clips.

Temperature conditions for ironing trousers from different fabrics

Before you start ironing, you need to read the information on the label. The composition of the fabric and care instructions should be indicated there. Depending on the material, you need to choose the optimal temperature regime.
The label shows pictograms indicating ironing options and product care

Knowing the composition of the fabric, it will be easier to choose the right temperature on the thermostat:

  • wool, mixed fabric - wool mode, number 2 or two dots;
  • polyester - silk, nylon mode, number 1 or one dot;
  • cotton, linen - cotton, linen mode, number 3 or three dots;
  • cotton + synthetics - iron like wool, but with pressure.

Wool is not ironed with pressure, but steamed, barely touching the fabric with the sole of the iron. Cotton and linen are pressed with pressure using a damp iron. Synthetic fabrics are ironed at a minimum temperature only through gauze. If it was not possible to determine the composition of the fabric, then ironing begins from the inside out at the hem of the trousers.

Also consider the type of fabric. If there is a pile, then the product is ironed, if possible, only from the reverse side. If this is not enough, then the iron is led in the direction of the pile, that is, from top to bottom, slightly touching the surface of the fabric.

How to make creases on pants

For an inexperienced hostess or a single man, it is quite difficult to iron perfectly even arrows. If you do not want to spend money on dry cleaning every time, you should learn all the tricks of impeccable ironing. There are two important points here: how to fold the legs correctly and where, in fact, these arrows should be located.

How to fold trousers correctly and where the arrows should be

For the formation of flawless arrows without distortions, it is important to fold the trousers correctly. The product is folded in half along the middle seam. The legs are aligned so that the step seams completely coincide with the side seams. Make sure that the lines of the side seams coincide in the upper part of the trousers (look along the edges of the belt). If the trousers are cut correctly, then when the seams are aligned, the front arrow will start exactly at the end of the front tuck or pleat.
To properly form the arrows, you need to fold the trousers correctly

The arrows, as it were, “cut” the front and back halves of the trousers into two equal parts. Depending on the model of the trousers on the front, they may begin with a tuck or a pleat. If the pants have two folds, then the fold that is closer to the codpiece turns into an arrow. As for the back half, there the arrow ends somewhere at the level of the end of the back tuck or the inner edge of the pocket, but does not reach the waist. The back half of the trousers is always ironed after the first. On it, the arrow is formed quite easily, but only after you have ironed the front one correctly.

Photo gallery: where the arrows are located on different models of men's and women's trousers

In these trousers, the front pleats turn into creases The creases start at the ends of the front darts The creases in the front begin with a crease Many models of women's trousers also have creases

Is there a difference between ironing women's and men's trousers with arrows

There is no significant difference in ironing female and male models. Ironing takes place according to the same algorithm: first they iron from the inside, then the upper part from the “face” and finally proceed to the formation of arrows. The difference can only be in the technique of ironing. Women's trousers can be narrowed down or almost adjacent. In this case, when ironing the internal seams, a folded terry towel is put inside the trouser leg or the same trouser leg is pulled onto the board for ironing the sleeves. They do this in order not to break the fold line of the arrow and not to make a fold from the inside.

You also need to take into account the fact that not all models of women's trousers have arrows that reach the waist.
Arrows on women's trousers visually lengthen the legs

How to iron the arrows correctly

So, you have done half the work and it remains only to iron the arrows. Do the following:

  1. Fold the trousers in half, align along the crotch and side seams.
  2. Fasten the trousers at the waist with a clip or pins (if the fabric is not too thin and will not show holes).
    It is better to fasten the belt of trousers with the help of clerical clips
  3. Turn the top leg out to the side.
    The arrows are ironed on each leg separately
  4. Fasten at the bottom, once again checking the coincidence of the seam line.
    With the help of clerical clips, you can fix the bottom of the trousers and then the seams will not come apart during ironing
  5. If the trousers are lined, then do not forget to move it as far as possible.
  6. Cover the bottom leg with an iron and moisten with water from a spray bottle.
    The ironing net greatly facilitates the process of forming creases on trousers.
  7. “Mark” the line of the front arrow: apply the iron in turn, first in the knee area, then in the upper part and, finally, in the lower part.
  8. After that, boldly iron the arrows from top to bottom, slightly pulling the leg with your free hand.
    First, iron the arrow on the front half of the trousers
  9. Iron the crotch.
  10. Proceed to form the back arrow in the same way, only ironing should be in the opposite direction - from the bottom up.
    The arrow on the back half of the trousers is ironed only after the arrow has been made on the front.
  11. Turn the leg over to the other side and iron it again.
  12. Let the trouser leg cool slightly (15 minutes).
  13. Flip the pants over to the other side so that the un-ironed part is on the surface and the ironed part is off to the side.
  14. Form the arrows in the same way.
  15. Fold the trousers in half so that both legs lie on top of each other, and iron again on both sides.
    To fix the result, both halves of the trousers are ironed together.
  16. Let the product cool down for an hour.
  17. Hang your trousers on a hanger or put them on.

The iron can be omitted if you have a high-quality steam iron with a ceramic sole, and the fabric from which the trousers are sewn lends itself well to wet-heat treatment and is resistant to shine.

How to save creases on trousers until washing

The formation of smooth, beautiful arrows without "doubling" and distortions is a painstaking and skill-requiring task. Therefore, it is natural to want to keep this effect at least until the next wash. There are several tricks that will help fix the arrows for a long time:

  1. A bar of soap. Soap draw a line of arrows from the inside. Then the product is turned inside out and ironed with steam.
  2. Vinegar solution. For a liter of water, you need a tablespoon of vinegar. The solution is sprayed with an iron or poured into a tank of water and ironed with "acetic" steam. The bend of the arrows is clear, even and resistant to deformation.
  3. starch solution. Take a teaspoon of potato or corn starch per liter of cold water. Boil on fire for 2 minutes and then allow to cool to room temperature. In the resulting solution, the iron is moistened. Use only for linen and cotton fabrics of light shades.

By the way, a solution of vinegar prevents the appearance of shine and las on the fabric. Thus, by using vinegar in shaping the creases, you also protect your trousers from unsightly shiny stains.

Correcting ironing errors: lasses, tan marks, double arrows

Unfortunately, we often forget to use the iron and unsightly shiny spots remain on the fabric. Fortunately, in most cases, these problems can be fixed.

How to remove glare and shine

Lasas are shiny traces from the sole of the iron. They are most noticeable on dark fabrics made from natural, mixed and synthetic fibers. The problem is fixed in the following ways:

  1. If the fabric is made of cotton or linen, then the laces are almost always removed by steaming through a damp iron.
  2. If the fabric is mixed, then you will need to prepare a solution of water, vinegar and a few drops of liquid soap. Moisten gauze in the solution and iron the problem area through it until the stain disappears completely.
  3. Ammonia will help to remove gloss from woolen fabrics. A few drops of ammonia are diluted in a liter of water. Then proceed in the same way as in the first method.
  4. Las on synthetic fabrics is removed with gasoline. A cotton pad is moistened in the product, and then the stain is treated with it. After this treatment, the product is washed and dried naturally.
  5. Shine from dark suit fabrics is also removed with unsweetened black tea: a cotton swab is moistened and the stain is treated.
  6. You can also wash the trousers again, and add fabric softener when rinsing.

If it was not possible to eliminate the lasses on your own, then you should take the pants to dry cleaning. In the case of synthetic fabrics, it also happens that the shine from the iron remains. In this case, the pants are ruined forever.

How to remove burn marks from an iron

Burn marks are yellow spots that are most noticeable on white, light and colored fabrics. Eliminating them is more difficult than lases. For this purpose, the following methods are used:

  1. Lemon and powdered sugar. The stain is rubbed with a slice of lemon and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Allow it to dry, and then partially wash the treated area or wash the product completely.
  2. Onion porridge. Onion gruel is applied to the place with tan and left to dry completely. Then wash and dry as usual. You can also use onion halves, which carefully rub the stains.
  3. Vinegar and salt. Make a solution of 9% vinegar and water in equal proportions. A place with a tan is moistened in a solution, and then sprinkled with salt. After the fabric has dried, the product is washed.
  4. 3% hydrogen peroxide. Use only on white fabrics. Peroxide is applied to a cotton swab and treated with a tan area. After the treated area dries, it is rinsed in cold water.

If you are unsure of your abilities and are afraid to ruin your pants completely, then immediately contact the dry cleaner.

From the first time it is not always possible to make the correct single arrows. If, during ironing, the trousers slid along the ironing surface, then it is quite likely that double arrows will form, which will obviously not please the one who is going to wear these trousers. Fortunately, it is much easier to remove "homemade" arrows than stable industrial ones formed under a special press. Do the following:

  1. Turn pants inside out.
  2. Arrange so that the arrows are in the middle of the leg.
  3. Moisten the gauze well and place it on the problem area.
  4. Iron until the arrows disappear.

The disadvantage of this method is that, most likely, you will also get rid of the “factory” arrow and it will have to be re-formed. We advise you to first try to fold the trousers correctly so that the seams match, and then iron well with steam. Perhaps the extra arrow will disappear. You can also wash your trousers, and then try to iron them better.
You can try to eliminate the extra arrow by ironing through a wet cloth.

Pants with arrows are the main feature of the classic pantsuit. Beautifully smoothed, smooth arrows are the hallmark of a business person. After all, they talk about the severity, business qualities of a partner and his concern for his appearance. But often making smooth, neat arrows is a rather difficult task. Let's take a look at how to properly iron the creases on trousers.

Ironing steps

In order for the ironing process to be as effective as possible and without consequences for the product, proper preparation is necessary. There are several features that can help you avoid mistakes during ironing.

First of all, you need to prepare all the necessary tools and equipment:

After that, you need to study the product label located in the belt area. Thanks to the information on it, you can find out about the composition of the fabric and possible ways to care for the product.

Artificial (synthetic) and natural fabrics are ironed with different heating temperatures of the iron sole. Wool, linen, and cotton can withstand high temperatures, while nylon, polyester, and silk need a little heat, otherwise they risk glossing and scorching.

Pockets must be freed from the objects contained in them, and the outer surface of the trousers should be inspected for contamination and, if necessary, cleaned with a brush to clean the pile and hairs.

Only clean trousers can be ironed, as exposure to temperature can provoke the strengthening of dirt. After smoothing, small spots will penetrate deep into the fibers, and then it will be difficult or impossible to remove them later. So if you need to wash the product or remove stains, then these procedures must be carried out in advance.

At the initial stage of ironing, the pants must be turned inside out, and then ironed from the front. At the same time, the sole of the iron was perfectly clean, and there was always a piece of thin fabric at hand, since without it it is impossible to iron the legs well and make arrows. Direct contact of the iron with the material of the product may cause scorch marks and shine. It is better to prefer white fabrics for ironing to avoid staining the trousers.

And it's also no secret that wet fabric is smoothed better, unlike dry and overdried. Therefore, during operation, the iron should be moistened with water as often as possible and use the steam function of the iron or use a spray gun.

Having completed all the preparatory work, you can begin the process of smoothing the product.

Formation of straight arrows

So, after completing the main stage, you can begin to form arrows on the trousers. Rules for smoothing arrows:

  1. Before ironing the arrows on the product, you need to make sure that the side seams of the legs match exactly. And also check that the arrows continue to tuck - to prevent their twisting and displacement.
  2. For convenience, you can fix the line of arrows using pins. But this should be done very carefully so that puffs and punctures do not form. And in the process of ironing, make sure that the sole of the iron does not fall on the pins, otherwise marks on the fabric cannot be avoided.
  3. You can use an alternative fixation option - laying a basting seam along the arrow. Although this procedure is longer in time, but without risk to the material of the product. At the end of ironing, the basting must be removed.
  4. Next, cover the ironing areas with an iron and start smoothing the arrows. There are two ways to do this:

  • simultaneously form arrows on two legs;
  • step by step to carry out the arrows on each leg.

The easiest way is to start ironing from the knees, moving towards the edges.. The fold lines of the fabric should be pulled slightly with your free hand. In order not to displace the prepared arrow, perform pressing movements with an iron with steam. This method is ideal for synthetic fabrics.

After ironing, allow the product to cool and dry, and then hang it in a closet or put it on for wear. Otherwise, there is a risk of rapid wrinkling of the material of the pants.

Tricks to get perfect arrows

There are several popular ways, thanks to which you can get smooth, non-wrinkling arrows for a long time:

  1. With a pointed piece of laundry soap, smear the inner line of the arrow and only then begin to smooth them.
  2. Wet the iron with a solution of vinegar instead of plain water. A tablespoon of vinegar added to a liter of water will prevent shine and also provide additional fixation to the hands.

If the first time you did not succeed exactly, then the result can be corrected. In order to remove sloppy arrows from the trousers, you need to do the following:

Thus, having correctly completed all the stages of ironing, you can not only make beautiful arrows on men's trousers, but also forget about shiny and tan marks forever. And resorting to some tricks - form neat arrows for a long time.
