tips
- If the article consists of various kind of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester ( 2).
- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not
be visible when you wear or use the article.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches.
- Fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be ironed in one
direction only (along with the nap) while applying very little pressure.
- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
i.e. those made of synthetic materials.
To make the iron cool down faster, simply apply steam or iron a
,
piece of cloth.
