My mother, brother and I got in to a small argument today. On the best way to iron a shirt. ( yes i know ) Me and my brother do back first then front and arms last. But my mom said no you should do it the other way round.
So how do you do your then?

"Ps... Think M&S do non iron shirts!
They do but there not as good as they said.
I have to wear work made shirt for work they are a pain to iron."
a bit of spray starch or spray extra water ( in one of them little bottles) helps... Also ironing when slightly damp? I detest ironing if honest , but it's gotta be done   |

Up Until
Recent Times I Had A Small Block Of Robin Starch For Shirts When You Saw Those High
Collars They Wore In Edwardian and Victorian Times I used To Think Of The
Robin Starch Its Hard To Imagine How
They Moved Their Necks. |

I do this every day for work:
Collar
Cuffs
Pockets
Yoke
Front left rotating all the way round to the other side
Sleeves
Don't forget to leave the shirt to rest in between sections as reduces the chances of creasing.
Hang up and button the top two buttons. That way the shirt keeps it's form. |

The reverse of the collar ( not the front). Then take each panel of the shirt, one at a time, using spray starch until you have the whole shirt done.
Then after buttoning up the shirt, lay it on the board, collar towards you so the rest of the shirt is hanging over the long edge of the board; this gets the yokes ready for ironing.
once done, do each sleeve one at a time, finishing with the shirt on its back panel downwards. Then slide the hanger up thru the shirt prior to hanging to avoid any creases.
