The easy way to iron trousers with arrows in 5 minutes

How to iron

Install the ironing board conveniently. Fill the water tank in the iron (you may need steam), select the desired temperature and leave the iron to heat up.

Start with pockets

Pockets can be made of thin fabric, which requires a lower temperature. Turn them inside out and place them on the board so that the pant leg out of the way.

Iron the pockets of your pants gently until the wrinkles disappear. This will help avoid new wrinkles on the fabric later on.

Go to the belt

Leaving the pockets inside out, pull the pant leg over the ironing board with the belt facing you. Pressing with the iron, but not moving it back and forth, walk over the belt area from all sides, gradually scrolling the trouser leg on the board.

Hold the iron on the fabric for a few seconds, but be careful not to burn it. If unwanted folds appear, straighten them and iron them again.

Repeat with the second leg.

Further actions depend on whether your trousers are with or without arrows.

Iron your pant legs without arrows

Straighten one leg at the seams and lay it face up along the board. Smooth out any small folds with your hands.

Start ironing from the top of your pants. Press down on the iron and smoothly move to the bottom, moving from one seam to the next.

If the creases do not give way, turn on the steamer function and bring the iron to problem areas or use a spray bottle.

Iron the other side and repeat on the other leg.

Make arrows

Take one leg of the trousers and fold it so that the outside and inside seams match. Place the inseam side down on the ironing board. Secure with pins or clamps: there should be no wrinkles or unevenness.

Spray with water or place a damp towel on top and start ironing. Press down on the iron and move it smoothly to avoid wrinkling.

Walk along the fold lines - your future arrows - again, pressing them with an iron for a few seconds and turning on steam at that moment.

Iron the other side and repeat on the second leg.

Do not bring the arrow to the waist, leave a 7-10 cm indent, unless the pants model suggests otherwise.

Life hack: hands will last longer if you rub them with bar soap before ironing.

Preparing trousers for ironing

The steamed arrows add a business style to the image and is a great visual accent

The sequence of actions is important in everything. This rule is especially relevant when it comes to ironing things difficult to care for: trousers, jackets, jackets, etc. But everything can be solved if you approach this without headlong headlining.

There are five simple rules to follow when handling any dress code or formal attire:

  • Purity. The thing to be ironed must be clean, free of stains and salt streaks. If there is even a hint of dirt, then ironing should be postponed until the product is completely cleaned. This is due to the fact that when exposed to high temperatures, the dirt penetrates even deeper into the fibers of the fabric and attempts to remove such a stain in the future become practically futile.
  • Temperature. The optimal heating of the iron directly depends on the type of fabric that we are going to iron. For example, synthetic and natural fabrics cannot be processed at the same temperature. This will lead to the loss of useful consumer qualities of the thing. The ironing temperature can be found on the label sewn on the inside of the product.
  • Interlining fabric. An iron iron is a matter through which a thing or garment will be ironed.Mostly white cotton cloth or gauze is used, which are pre-moistened in cold water.
  • The wrong side. If it is possible to iron the product from the wrong side, then you should not neglect this. This will protect the product, and in our case the trousers, from any changes caused by contact with the surface of the iron.
  • Water. When ironing trousers and clothes made from suiting fabrics, the fabric of the product must be moistened with a small amount of water. It is more convenient to do this by spraying liquid from a hand-held spray bottle with a container.

These are the main rules that must be followed. Their implementation ensures that at least you do not damage the product itself or make it unusable in the future.

How to make the right arrows

Ironing without liner is not suitable for all fabrics - be sure to check the label on the garment before ironing

After preparing all the necessary things and the product itself, you can start ironing it. First, we set the temperature we need and wait for the iron to heat up.

The further sequence for ironing trousers will consist of the following steps:

We inspect and, if necessary, clean the pockets from dirt particles. We turn the product over to the wrong side, shake it and place it on a flat surface of the ironing board.
Then we wet the thing from the spray bottle and iron it along the entire length from top to bottom. Then we turn the product over and repeat the same steps.
We turn the trousers to the front side. Gently lay on the surface and moisten with water. Next, we moisten the gauze, squeeze out excess water, shake it and spread it without folds over the surface of the product. Lightly iron the trousers from top to bottom.
We inspect the product. If there are no folds and the result suits us, then we can proceed to creating the arrows. We take the product by the lower part of the legs, freely straighten and fold one leg to the other, so that fold lines are formed.
If necessary, the fold lines are fixed with a sewing needle or a loose paper clip. Next, the pants are stacked on an ironing board.

At this stage, it is important to fix the product on the board as accurately as possible and avoid unnecessary folds.
We moisten the product from the spray bottle, put a damp cushioning cloth on top and iron the arrows. For the best effect, you can moisten the cloth again in a solution of water with the addition of 1 tablespoon of vinegar and repeat the steps again.
After ironing, you should leave the trousers on the ironing board for 7-10 minutes until the fabric has cooled and dries from the wet steam.

In general cases, this ironing technology is suitable for almost any thing. The main thing is to take into account the type of fabric of the product and not to rush. As for the trousers, here you should not forget to moisten the thing and the cushioning fabric during the process. Then the result will be excellent.

Ironing modes for all fabrics

Before you are going to iron well-washed and dried trousers from a jacket, you need to pay attention to the label located inside them, which contains complete information about the permissible ironing temperature of this fabric and its other indicators. If, due to washing, the patch has lost its color, and you cannot read what is indicated there, then here is our auxiliary information, thanks to which you can easily match your type of trouser fabric to the proposed types and choose the right mode for ironing.

  1. 100% cotton. The optimum temperature for ironing is 140-170 degrees. Wet steam treatment is acceptable. In order for the fabric to quickly straighten and take on the proper form, you should press hard on the iron during work.
  2. Cotton with a mixture of synthetics (polyester). The maximum ironing temperature does not exceed 110 degrees.If the fabric does not take the desired shape, then use a small amount of steam formations or a slight spray from a spray bottle.
  3. Synthetics. When processing such delicate fabrics as synthetics, you should focus on the "Silk" mode or some other no less gentle. As a last resort, set the thermostat to minimum. The steam should not be used at all, as some changes in color and fabric can be obtained.
  4. Viscose. When it comes to how to iron viscose trousers, it must be remembered that this type of fabric will require a temperature regime of no higher than 120 degrees, while a small amount of vaporization is permissible, if necessary. It is strongly recommended to iron the product upside down and through a damp thin cloth.
  5. Cotton and linen. 180 degrees, strong steam exposure and pre-moistening will be enough to return the pants to a neat look, just do not forget about the need to turn the product inside out before the direct processing process.
  6. Linen. Pants made of this fabric should be ironed at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. From the inside, when using pre-moistening, you can remove all unnecessary folds and bruises with a strong steam.
  7. Silk. Delicate and soft silk requires the same gentle and gentle processing temperature as 60-80 degrees. It is recommended to iron garments made of this fabric without using steam, but using a damp barrier cloth.
  8. Chiffon. 60-80 degrees for chiffon is considered the most suitable temperature for ironing women's pants. In this case, you should not use steam, you just have to limit yourself with wet gauze and light pressure on the iron itself.
  9. Nylon. The optimum temperature for vertical steaming is 60-80 degrees. It is better not to try it with an iron, since there is a high probability that the product will melt and stick.
  10. Semi-wool and wool. It is advisable to process vertically with steam at a temperature of 100-120 degrees through a damp cloth.
  11. Denim is soft and rough. Having turned out the trousers, it is necessary to start ironing at a temperature of 150-200 degrees (depending on the texture of the trousers) from the inside out in a pre-moistened state or on the front side through a damp cloth.
  12. Knitwear. The temperature is set before vertical processing to minimum or medium. The product will need to be turned out and straightened carefully.

How to iron on trousers arrows

After the legs are ironed correctly, it is the turn of creating arrows on them. Thanks to them, men's and women's trousers visually make the figure more slender. Especially in the case of the classic cut, which is characterized by the presence of two straight darts at the top, both on the front and back of the trousers. They are the starting points for pointing straight arrows.

The fashion to iron arrows on men's trousers came back in the last century. Often, to create them, they used soap or a concentrated soap solution, after which dried, the folds of the legs became firm, perfectly even and retained their shape for a long time.

Arrows are ironed on each leg from the outside and inside

The arrows on the trousers are aimed at each trouser leg from the front and back. They should be a direct continuation of the darts of the upper part. To create the arrows correctly, first you need to find the darts on both sides and mark straight lines along them along the legs to the very edge. In this case, the pants can be pinned along the marked lines to the fabric covering the ironing surface. So it will be more convenient to iron and the line of future arrows will not be broken.

Before you start directing the arrow, you should check again that the side seams of the legs coincide, and the darts are the beginning of the folds. The arrows must necessarily continue the lines of the darts.Only in this case they will not twist, they will not go to the side, they will be straight and even.

After fixing the trousers to the surface and defining the arrow lines, cover the folds with a damp thin cloth and ironing can begin. In this case, the edge of the leg at the end of the arrow must be slightly pulled with one hand, and with the other hand, hold and iron the trousers with an iron. To make the arrows the correct shape and last longer, you can use an old trick: rub the inside of the fabric along the folds with a bar of soap.

To fix the smoothed arrows, use ammonia

A few drops of vinegar or ammonia, which can be added to the water to moisten the protective fabric during ironing, will also serve as a clear fixation of the arrows. The folds will then wrinkle less and retain their shape longer.

Allow time to cool down after finishing ironing. After a while, the arrows will finally fix and harden a little. After that, you can safely put on ironed trousers without fear that the arrows will lose their shape when worn. It is better to store such clothes on a hanger with special clips for the hem of the trousers, which will allow you to keep the ironed arrows for a long time. Now you know how to iron trousers with arrows correctly, and you can always look irresistible.

What is needed

To create the perfect shooters, you will need some things that everyone will probably have at home:

  • Iron.
  • Iron or just a piece of gauze.
  • Spray gun (if there is no water spray in the iron).
  • Ironing board.
  • Clothespins.

You can iron clothes on a table or any other hard surface, but it is the ironing board that is the most convenient device for ironing trousers.

On a note! It makes no difference whether you are wearing women's or men's trousers, narrow or wide, you need to make arrows. The rules are the same for any model that needs folds.

Preparation tips:

  • The ironing surface must be absolutely flat and covered with a thick cloth.
  • If the soleplate is dirty, it must be cleaned beforehand.
  • Only white fabric is used as an ironer; colored fabric can fade.
  • It is necessary to set the temperature on the iron in accordance with the type of fabric (information is always indicated on the label of the garment).
  • The product must be clean and freshly washed.
  • The wire from the iron should not hinder movement; it is recommended to put the ironing board as close to the outlet as possible.

Important! The arrow always runs exactly in the middle of the lobe line, from the very top to the bottom cut. If the product was originally with well-fixed arrows, after washing they do not diverge

In this case, it will not be difficult to fold the trousers exactly along the folds. But there are fabrics, after washing which there are no marks from the arrows, then you will have to outline the fold yourself

If the product was originally with well-fixed arrows, they do not diverge after washing. In this case, it will not be difficult to fold the trousers exactly along the folds. But there are fabrics, after washing which there are no marks from the arrows, then you will have to outline the fold yourself.

How to iron men's trousers with arrows?

To learn how to iron men's trousers with arrows correctly, a man needs to follow the instructions of specialists unswervingly. To begin with, as in the previous version, the pants are turned inside out, ironing the area of ​​the belt, lining and pockets, as well as along the legs. After that, the trousers are again returned to the front side outward, laid out on the ironing board in a certain position.

How to fold correctly

The trousers are returned to the front position, but in such a way that the outer and inner seams coincide. You can get this position if you take the pants on the bottom of them, aligning all 4 seams with each other. Now you need to align the seams in the same way at the top.In this state, the trousers are laid out on the ironing board, the belt is folded back, all the seams are leveled from above, as a result of which the fabric of the trousers is straightened.

Fundamental rules

Many modern models of classic trousers are made with darts in the front, which should be the end of the arrows along the legs. If such darts are not provided, the man needs to focus on the front belt loop. The fabric is folded exactly according to such marks, after which both trousers are combined. On the back of the trousers, the arrows are equated to the upper point of the middle seam.

According to the rules of etiquette, the arrow on the front of the trousers should end at a distance of 7 cm before the location of the belt. When ironing, iron the arrows, starting from the knee area. To do this, a slightly moistened iron is applied, an iron is applied to it, after which they wait a little time for the fabric to dry and obtain a result. In the same way, they iron along the entire leg, wetting the fabric of the ironer as needed.

Secrets and Tricks

In order to preserve the ironing result longer, after the procedure, the pants cannot be put on immediately, they must be thrown on a hanger, allowing the fabrics to cool and dry. Experts advise using vinegar for long lasting results. To do this, water is diluted with vinegar or starch, during ironing it is sprayed onto the fabric of the trousers, but from the inside.

Advice!
If during such a procedure the trouser fabric becomes greasy, you can steam off with water and vinegar or apply refined or aviation gasoline with salt. After the fabric dries in this place, it will need to be ironed through a damp cloth.

At the end, when the arrows of the pants are ironed, the man will need to rub them on the inside with a remnant, and then go over them with an iron again. Also, you will need to moisten the iron with vinegar water if you dilute a tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water. Thanks to such tricks, the fabric will not shine for a long time in the wear, and the arrows will retain their shape and clarity longer.

Start with the waistband and pockets, then move on to the pant legs.

Now iron each pant leg on both sides, moving from bottom to top along the entire length.

How to iron trousers: making arrows

Today men's trousers are an indispensable item in the wardrobe of every fashionista and a man of respectable age.

To look stylish and elegant, it is important to find the right fit for your pants, choose the right size, and keep your pants clean and in shape. The main question that interests the owners of trousers is how to iron men's trousers with or without arrows

Today, the collections of designers and fashion designers offer several dozen models of classic, sporty, and other trousers. It can be trousers made of wool, linen, silk, cotton, jeans and other fabrics, straight, tapered or wide cut, cropped, standard or trousers with cuffs. It remains only to choose a model of trousers for your style of clothing and figure out how to iron them correctly.

To learn how to iron pants without arrows, a man needs to first stock up on all the necessary tools. The following items are involved in ironing:

  • ironing board;
  • iron with steam spray function;
  • thin cloth or gauze as an iron;
  • spray bottle with water;
  • remnant;
  • vinegar.

Next, before ironing, the man needs to determine the fabric of the trousers, in addition, the trousers must be clean and dry. Pants must be turned inside out, checking the pockets for foreign objects. On dry trousers made of corduroy or linen, you need to spray a little water, then leave them to absorb moisture for 10-20 minutes. Silk trousers are wrapped in a slightly damp towel.

Depending on the type of fabric, a man needs to choose the correct ironing mode on the iron. Often this information is specified by the manufacturer on the inside of the tag or label. Ironing begins from the top of such a wardrobe item, you can moisten the iron for the best effect. The belt is ironed through it, then they move on to the pockets and lining.

Linen and cotton items are ironed without an iron due to the strength of the material. Iron the trousers from the seamy side in front and back, while be sure to bend the seams. The seams are ironed on a light mode at the very end. After that, the trousers are turned upside down, the iron is turned over the trousers on the ironing board around the axis, as when steaming, rearranging it from place to place.

Expert opinion

Helen Goldman

Male stylist-image maker

If the trousers are made of synthetics, they need to be ironed extremely rarely and only in those places where creases are visible

It is important to use a gauze or other wet wipe. If the trousers are made of leather, they must be steamed from the seamy side, but not ironed.

Stage 4: fix bugs

How to remove arrows on trousers? In certain cases, you have to urgently get rid of the smoothed “arrows” on the trousers. The reasons for such a step may be different - for example, you "deviated from the course" and made the hall completely in the wrong place where it should be. Removing unwanted traces will not be difficult:

  • Prepare a solution of 9% vinegar;
  • Moisten a piece of calico or calico in it;
  • Start steaming your pants thoroughly. Progress will depend on the specific type of fabric - for example, wool yields much faster than synthetics.

How to remove iron marks on trousers? Marks on the ironed product are another burning problem that cannot be tolerated.

In eliminating gloss, it is important to focus on the color palette of trousers:

  • A solution of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, taken in equal proportions, will save the white cloth. Moisten the affected areas and leave the product on for twenty minutes. Wash later, dry and repeat ironing again;
  • Small burn marks are excellent at eliminating laundry soap: rub the shiny area, soak the trousers in water, and then wash and dry in the open sun. This method is also suitable for white clothing;
  • for a colored product, use lemon juice: blot the sponge and gently handle the tan marks. After that, the fabric will only have to dry;
  • on dark trousers, you can fearlessly use grated onion gruel. It is left for 2 hours, after which the “perfumed” thing, of course, will have to be washed thoroughly.

Stretched knees on trousers are unlikely to add elegance to the look. If this incident happened to a favorite thing, the situation is not at all hopeless: the "bubbles" must simply be properly smoothed out.

Spread out the legs so that the bulging areas are on top

Then attach a damp iron to them and gently run the hot iron from the edges to the very center.

Stage 3: Follow the directions

  • First, turn the pants out and straighten them out on the board.
  • Then moisten the iron with a spray bottle.
  • Place a cotton cloth or gauze on one of the legs at the waist.
  • Now begin to lightly, without pressure, walk with the iron (try not to press down the protruding parts of the product). First of all, the belt, "zipper", pockets and the upper part of the canvas are processed.
  • Smoothly sliding down the leg, make sure that the fabric does not wrinkle. When the wrong side has been carefully ironed, unfold the garment to the front side and make the appropriate adjustments. In this case, the pockets must be turned out - otherwise the lining will be printed where it is completely unnecessary.
  • The “arrows” should be taken as a last resort. As you know, they are subdivided into stitched and ironed ones, and if you are "lucky" to deal with the second type, you will have to make some effort: The contours of the "arrows" should be indicated as expressively as possible, but at the same time carefully, avoiding the appearance of gloss.
  • Fold over the legs so that their side seams are completely aligned. Then, in the same way, sideways, position the pants on the work surface.
  • Fold up the upper leg and press the lower leg well. When done with it, turn the thing over and smooth the “arrows” on the other leg. Ideally, their line should end exactly 7 centimeters from the waist - this is the "gold standard".
  • In order to correct minor imperfections, once again run the iron along the outside of the legs.

Note to the hostess: try to use an ordinary comb to work: moisten it with water and insert the fabric between the teeth strictly along the line of the future "arrows". Pull the comb through the pants, and then iron the garment well with an iron.

To keep the "arrows" in shape as long as possible, you can do the following:

  • Before ironing, rub them with dry or slightly moistened remnants from the inside of the trousers (alternatively, moisten them with starch);
  • soak the iron not with clean water, but with vinegar solution (approximate calculation - 1 tablespoon per 200 milliliters of water). By the way, thanks to vinegar, you will solve several secondary tasks at once: protect the fabric from the appearance of shiny areas and clean the sole of the iron.

Note to the hostess: It is possible to smooth the trousers well without any ironing. To do this, they are placed under the mattress, having previously straightened the "arrows" (you can also additionally press the boards). Of course, this method is very unconventional, but after waking up you will be pleasantly surprised at how exemplary your favorite clothes will look!

Of course, not all types of trousers require the creation of "arrows." For example, jeans are much easier to handle:

  • Turn inside out;
  • straighten at the seams;
  • start ironing slowly, starting at the seams;
  • go to the back pockets, then return to the front of the legs;
  • Finally, iron the back of the pants.

Note to the hostess: To save time and effort on ironing jeans, make it a rule to dry them in the fresh air from the seamy side - either in a horizontal position or hanging by the belt. If you do not resort to intensive spinning, you will probably not have to use the iron at all!

Housewives who have a steamer are incredibly lucky in ironing: this useful device will help to put clothes in complete order in a matter of minutes.The indisputable advantage of steam processing is the maximum delicacy in care, because if the iron is in direct contact with the material, then the steamer is kept "at a respectful distance", preventing the appearance of stains and burn marks.

If there is a crossed out steam iron symbol on the trouser tag, the manufacturer warns you not to use the steamer under any circumstances.

The trousers should be ironed in an upright position, hanging with the belt down (you can leave it directly on the hanger). You will immediately notice that steam easily and naturally opens pockets - in the case of traditional ironing, this is only a dream! Especially for the formation of arrows, steamers provide a special clip attached to the iron.

It is recommended to fill the tank of the unit with soft distilled water, after completion of work it must be drained.

Remember to let your clothes cool down after ironing - at least ten minutes. If you put your hot pants in the closet or put them on right away, your ironing efforts are likely to go down the drain.
