Fill washer with hot water, add soap and toss in the fabric.
Dry with hot temperature.
Press ... easier if you have a large rectangular surface.
A bit of dampness helps, whether damp from the dryer, a spritzer of water ... or some Best Press. I don't use steam, but many do.

I made my ironing board, by mounting a piece of plywood on my old metal ironing board. Permanently screwed on, and what I now use all the time. Mine is about 24"x58", a leftover that I had . Ideally have it atleast 1/2WOF for regular width fabrics by atleast 1/2 WOF of wide back, as it makes it easier for pressing any fabrics you have. FQs and 1/2 metres fit on top nicely when pressing.

Some have theirs mounted on storage cabinets or dressers.

Hope you are enjoying your new (now old?) home and community!!
And that you have your new sewing room, fully equipped and just the way you want it!
