Question:

Can I iron a non-iron dress shirt?

It was wrinkled when I took it out of the package. Is it safe to iron it at least for the first time? It‘s 100% cotton, but I don‘t want to ruin a $45 shirt so I thought I better check first.

Answer:

Instead, hang it in the bathroom then run a hot bath or take a hot shower and hang it in the humid room. That should get rid of the worst of the wrinking without ironing. edit: kim beat me to it :)
I wouldn't risk ruining the shirt by ironing. If it really needs it you can dry clean it. Hope this helps! good luck!
non iron doesnt mean dont iron. it means you shouldnt have to iron it, and if you do, use a cool setting only.iron inside out. i would wash it following the manufactures instructions. i buy items from newport news and they come all folded up. a formal dress, i hang and put in my bathroom while i take a steamy shower. the steam releases the wrinkles. there is also a product on the market. not sure of the name, but it is a wrinkle releaser. aerosol spray it in, smooth and go. never tried it, though
