Fabric

Silk

If there should be any doubt about the type of fabric of a garment, test this by ironing
a concealed part at low temperature and then raising the temperature gradually until
the creases can be ironed out without damaging the fabric.
- Textiles like velvet, wool etc. as well as gloves and bags can be freshened up by
passing the iron over them at a short distance with the steam function switched
on.
- Carpets look like new and the pressure marks from furniture disappear when
steam is allowed to penetrate the crush marks before brushing the carpet
carefully.
- Before ironing sort the garments according to their ironing temperature. Start
with the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature.
- Iron silks on the wrong side.
- To avoid shiny patches, woollens, cotton and fine linen fabrics should be ironed
on the wrong side or cover with a thin cloth before ironing over it on the right
side. Starched fabrics require more moisture. White and light fabrics are ironed
on the right side, dark ones on the wrong side. Embroidery is also ironed on the
wrong side to prevent the work being flattened.
- Linen fabrics can be steam ironed. Use sufficient steam; dark fabrics should be
ironed on the wrong side to avoid shiny patches. To emphasise turn ups, iron
them on the right side.
