    make sure that the skirts are clean and take them to the dry cleaner. For a small charge, they will often steam press them for you - it's the steam pressing that makes them look so good when you take them out of the dry cleaners - not the dry cleaning itself.

    Whether he/she will do this or not is really a matter of their personal choice - but for a couple of dollars, it's an easy job.

    Dry Cleaners also do regular laundry. Men bring in their cotton, button-down work shirts along with their Dry Clean only suits, and the Dry Cleaner does both.

    Bring the skirts in and have them launder them. Have them professionally press them, and they'll look as good as new. Their professional, massive steam-presses are way more powerful than any home-use type of iron or steamer and will do the trick.

    If you really want to do this at home, it's important to have a properly functioning iron. You need to buy Spray Starch and sprintz the garments with it, prior to ironing. That will make sure everything looks neat & perfect.

    Have you tried ironing them?

    I am sure there is more than one dry cleaner in your area.
