Ironing shirts and trousers without marks starts with the label, a clean soleplate and a stable surface. Choose heat for the garment, not simply because the fabric looks like cotton.
Prepare before heating
Check the ironing symbol, stains and trims. Do not press a stain hoping it will disappear. Inspect the soleplate and follow the appliance instructions for water and steam. Use a secure board and position the cable so it cannot pull the iron down.
Work around a shirt
Start with collar and cuffs, then sleeves, shoulders and larger panels. Spread one area at a time and avoid trapping folds underneath. Do not press directly over buttons or decorations. Where permitted, use suitable protection and test discreetly.
Trousers and creases
Lay trousers flat without twisting the seams. Follow an existing crease only where the design includes one; not every pair needs a pressed crease. For shine-sensitive fabrics, avoid heavy pressure and use the recommended protection. Consider professional finishing for a suit.
Choosing SPG pressing
Turnaround is 48–72 hours by item or 3–5 business days by weight. Review the pressing service and prices. Steam is not presented as a guarantee of sterilisation or complete microorganism removal.
