How to Iron Blue Jeans
It would be fretful that our blue jeans are wrinking a lot when we are going to wear it for some occasions. As we all know, putting on a crisp, creased pair of blue jeans is a very impressive fashion statement. Many people avoid it because of the stiffness of the fabric and the work involved in flattening out the tedious and meticulous fabric folds. But, ironing jeans is a relatively easy thing to do with the right tools and sprays.
Jeans
- Wash the denim jeans first to rinse away any residue or fabric ink from the manufacturer.
- Lay the denim jeans flat and straight across the ironing board with one pants leg on the board.
- Spray the jeans with spray starch or sizing to help the iron flatten the blue jeans out. Spray one pant leg at a time.
- Press the iron down firmly on the jeans until the fabric lays flat.
- Move the iron up, down and across the pants leg, As you iron, press down on the pant leg.
- Fold the blue jeans across the seam of the pants to keep from getting creases along the front of the jeans.
- Place a thin sheet of wax paper between the pants leg of the jeans and the hanger when hanging up. This eliminates any “hanger fold.”
- Stack one to two pairs of pants on the hanger at a time. The weight of the denim will create a lasting fold effect on both pairs of pants.
Tips & Warnings
- Use a damp towel periodically to spot wipe jeans. This keeps the fabric softened and helps the starch work much better.
- Pay attention to steam control settings. Steam that is set too high can cause burns on the fabric and on your skin. Steam that is set too low will not work effectively when trying to crease the fabric. Adjust the steam setting as needed.
