Ironing lined linen trousers
« on: July 21, 2017, 09:08:58 AM »
How on earth do you iron 100 per cent linen trousers that have a 100 per cent cotton lining in the whole garment?!!! I bought them with a lovely crease down the leg.Any ideas out there?

Take them into the laundry in Paspatur and ask them to steam iron them for you.

Turn them insde out and press them on hot steam if you have it on your iron  (you can put a cloth over the trousers). Then turn them the right way around and press them again with a cloth between them and the iron.   Linen is a nightmare, looks great on the hanger but creases so much when wearing.

We found the washing shops over there did a great job of ironing difficult things.  8)

I have pairs of linen trousers which are not too bad to press but as these are white they are fully lined.It makes ironing difficult,a single layer is easy.I shall try a laundry!!!Thanks!
