IRONING TIPS
•Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
•Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
•You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics) to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.
•If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.
•When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
•When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.
•To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
•To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over the flap. Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
