If your iron is on the wrong setting, it may ruin your pants.
Pressing a crease into pants gives the wearer a well-groomed, professional look. The hotter the iron, the easier it is to create a sharp pant crease. However, not all material can withstand high heat. For example, most denim can be pressed on a high heat, while polyester or satin might be ruined at the same temperature. Take the time to properly line up the inside pant seams, as this is the trick to creating great-looking creases.
Instructions
1. Set up the ironing board, and match the iron's heat setting to the material of your pants. Materials vary in the amount of heat they can endure before they become damaged. Many irons have heat settings designated by numbers or type of fabric. The care label inside the pants may have helpful information as well.
2. Grasp the bottom of the right pant leg in your right hand, and the bottom of the left pant leg in the left hand. Hold the pants out in front of you. The waist should be pointing at the ground.
3. Locate the seams on the inside of each pant leg, and bring them together. Grasp the bottom of the pant legs in both hands and give them a shake. This will help to line up the seams and give you a smooth surface to work with.
4. Lay the pants on the ironing board with the seams still together, and spray the top pant leg with liquid starch. Allow the starch to set for 15 seconds, and then run the iron over the material until the pant leg is smooth. If the material is durable, press the steam button when ironing to create a sharper crease.
5. Pull the top pant leg back, and spray the bottom pant leg with starch. Wait 15 seconds and iron.
6. Flip the pants over, and repeat on the other side. Once the top pant leg is ironed, lift it back and spray the bottom pant leg with starch. Wait 15 seconds, then iron.
