Work Smarter
Set yourself up for calmer, more efficient ironing.
The Ironing Book
Everything you need to know about ironing - and quite a lot you never knew you wanted to know.
From the first uncertain question of which setting to use to the satisfying finish of a properly pressed shirt, The Ironing Book is a practical guide to getting it right.
It brings clear, useful guidance to fabrics, care labels, shirts, trousers, dresses, bedding, difficult details, wrinkles, and stains - with a welcome awareness that ironing is often more complicated than it has any right to be.
Better ironing, from start to finish
Learn the habits that make the job easier, understand what each fabric needs, handle the awkward bits with confidence, and know what to do when things go wrong.
Know Your Fabrics
Read the labels and treat each fabric with the care it needs.
Master the Awkward Bits
Approach collars, cuffs, pleats, and other tricky places with a plan.
Fix What Goes Wrong

Inside the book
Practical illustrated guidance walks through ironing shirts, understanding fabrics, troubleshooting wrinkles, and dealing with stains. It is the useful reference for the moments when a care label, a stubborn crease, or a garment's construction makes the ordinary suddenly less straightforward.
