How to get a perfectly smoothed shirt in 5 minutes

Как получить идеально выглаженную рубашку за 5 минут

Ironing is a process in which the fabric acquires a smooth surface by pressing it with a heated surface (the sole of the iron).

Modern irons are usually electric and have a large number of functions. When using the moisturizing function with heated steam, the small creases of the fabric soften and are more amenable to smoothing, and when using a special liquid for ironing, the steam becomes even more effective and, in addition, gives the laundry a delicate aroma and softness. Some irons are equipped with a "vertical steaming" function, which allows ironing in an upright position.

Whatever they say about the return of fashion to the folds, we do not believe in it. And so we give you tips for mastering the iron, which will allow you to get a perfectly ironed shirt in 5 minutes.
