Sandra Asked:

I usually take men's dress shirts to the cleaners to be laundered. Sometimes, the buttons get crushed/cracked. I'm now thinking of laundering my own shirts and purchasing either a steam press or a steamer. Any thoughts on which will work best? I'm NOT very good at ironing so ease of use is key.

I don't use starch on my shirts.

I just answered a similar question. The main problem with shirts is the ironing. I would call around to some of you local cleaners. Better cleaners will check all the buttons and replace them for free. Shirts will cost more but not only will the buttons be replaced but the pressing will be much better. The dry cleaning biz is a service. The customers that do not have the time and who want quality will pay for the better service. Good luck
