Turn
inside out and press with a damp lint-free cloth over the seams.
DO NOT put a crease down the
front of your trousers. In most cases each
side must be done separately, as the seams at the sides do not usually
line
up. When finished leave them inside out and place on a pant hanger or a
hanger that will not leave a crease through the middle.
If
you iron your shirt on a high temperature inside out (all except the
sleeves) it will come out nicely. For the sleeves, place them on the
ironing board with the seam to one side. Iron each sleeve flat and
ensure that there are no creases. The
sleeve will have to be rolled on
the board in order to ensure that the entire sleeve has been pressed.
Make sure no threads (Irish pennants) are sticking out. If so, clip them
off with a pair of scissors. Press your collar, epaulettes, and cuffs.
Remove
the buckles and wash in hot soapy water. If the belt is
extremely dirty, (it shouldn’t be if it is being cleaned
regularly) you may
wash it using bleach. Ask an adult to help you.
Made
of cotton, it is machine washable DO NOT DRY IT IN A
DRYER.
To dry, place some tape on a nail somewhere so rust will not get on
the lanyard and then tie a shoe to the other end for weight. If it is
done
this way it will look new for years. It is worn around your neck,
through
the epaulets with the knot at the second button, looped at the fourth
button and the remainder tucked neatly in the left breast pocket.
Place a LIGHT coat of
black shoe polish (Kiwi works best) on the boots
let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then using cold-water rub in small
circles
until a shine can be seen. When finished the boots can be buffed with
an old nylon. Do not use a shoe brush, it works fine for normal shoes,
however, it is next to impossible to get a high gloss shine using a
brush. Your boots should be polished after every time you wear them.
When finished put them in a place where they will not get scuffed.
