How can I iron a button up shirt?
user
Most button-down shirts can be ironed with a warm iron, but I recommend using the reverse side of the shirt to get the buttonholes as flat as possible.

How hot should I get the iron?
user
It is always best to use an iron with a thermostat.  Just be sure that you don’t try to get the iron too hot, since it can damage the fabric.

How long do I hold it against the shirt?
user
Leave it pressed for about 20 seconds, then take a look at it to see if the shirt is all wrinkled up.  If not, just iron the shirt again.  Make sure that you don’t press down on the buttonholes.  Try to iron the area of the shirt next to the buttonhole with the iron.
