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.

I spent 26 years in military and I used this process always. My creases on top were always razor-sharp and sleeves wrinkle-free.

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...

No chemicals for shirt laundry. But they are a lot harder on shirts that you are - your hubby's shirts will not last as long. But then, simplicity iron press is such a drag...
