Anikka Asked:

I’m thinking of purchasing brand Singer or Conair press iron. It’s a clam shell design & the steam option can be turned off. They are much cheaper. I’m just wondering if anyone has tried this intead of the heat transfer machine?

Reply:

The heat press transfer machines have timers and auto-releases, as well as locks. I am not familiar with the flat presses, but I thought this might help you out.

Sandra Asked:

I have the most frustrating time ironing sleeve of shirts. Often when I iron the sleeve, I turn it around only to find that I’ve ironed a crease in the other side. I then iron that crease out and I make a crease on the first side.

Reply:

slip a piece of cardboard between the two layers of the shirt sleeve. Thin cardboard like the type that comes in a men’s packaged shirt works very well. When  the top layer of their on ironing sleeve, the cardborad prevents the under layer from creasing. Then flip and do the other side. once smooth you can remove the cardboard and iron as normal.

Flor asked:

I avoid chemicals as much as possible so don’t usually do dry-cleaning a whole lot, but simplicity  iron press for my hubbie’s dress-shirts, would they use chemicals in the cleaning process? These shirts are like 99cents only and should be washed, and then they press it….if I pick no starch….there shouldn’t be chemicals used right? 99 cents is worth an hour of my time ironing. I just can’t seem to iron very efficiently. Just curious though if there’d be dry-cleaning chemicals used in the process or not…

Claire Asked:

How do professional iron press laundries get shirts pressed so well? I do my own ironing and I’m pretty good at it, but when I send my shirts off to a laundry, they come back pressed far, far more effectively than I can ever achieve. Do they have special machines for this? Do they use more steam, or higher temperatures? How can I achieve the same effect?
