Let’s face it, planning dinner is an amazing job, but it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare. The scariest and most painful part is having to iron the tablecloths and plenty of napkins for the dinner party in advance. If you find it extremely painful when ironing them, then maybe you’re doing it wrong. Linen visionaries will tell you that if done right, it doesn’t take much effort to do the job perfectly – clean lines, straight and crisp, is how a tablecloth should look.

The first point when ironing linen tablecloths is to prepare a place for ironing. If you are ironing on a table, place a flat, sturdy cloth on the table first. For example, you can lay a piece of cotton cloth on the table and then cover it with a towel. You can also lay a few clean sheets on the floor around the table, so that if the tablecloth falls off, it will not get dirty. Next, prepare your tablecloth. Make sure it’s slightly damp, but not too damp or it won’t be suitable for ironing. If you want your tablecloth to look neat and vintage, you can apply some starch to it before ironing. After ironing, fold it up and hang it on a hanger.

Of course, it is best to iron on an ironing board. Preparing the ironing board is the same as preparing the table. Secondly, adjust the height of the ironing board to prevent muscle soreness caused by height discomfort. What is the appropriate height? This height is perfect when you can place your hands on the ironing board without bending your back or arms.
You can also lay some cloth—preferably a towel—on the ironing board to give it a softer surface. Place the napkin on the ironing board and spray some water on the surface, moving the iron around to prevent your napkin from burning.
