First, I spray my entire clothes with water before ironing it... It makes the clothes wrinkle free... It is tried and tested by Filipinos... and I myself iron my uniform, my slacks almost perfect... Try it and you'll se the difference.

After drying the shirt and it still has some wrinkles, then it really needs some ironing otherwise you can hang it immediately and you don't need to iron it. To iron a shirt or poloshirt, I start with the collar then the sleeves and then iron one side of the shirt's body until you are able to meet the point where you started. If it still looks wrinkled, try to sprinkle some water before ironing it. It should help to remove the wrinkles.

I don't iron shirts as much as possible. I buy shirts that have less chances of getting wrinkles when taken out of the washer. :)

The best thing to do is take it out of the dryer when it is still warm and hang it up immediately. It will stay nice and wrinkle-free until you wear it without having to iron it.

I actually DO iron once in a while. On the wide, squarish, side of the ironing board I lay the back & shoulder of the shirt, iron, move over to the other shoulder. then I do the front (by collar), next I do the sleeves,and lastly the body of the shirt. It's easier to get more of any article ironed if you hang it over the square end of the board. I don't know if that makes any sense,.... Good Luck

the best way is to make sure that the shirt is not completely dried out for if it has got a lot of wrinkles if it is dried then better you sprinkle some water over the places with much wrinkles and then iron it it will be useful for you
