Sort the linens to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or
if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
You can eliminate the risk of scorching fabrics and reduce waiting time by starting to iron
items that need a lower temperature (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down).
synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester: low temperatures;
silk, wool: medium temperatures;
cotton, linen: high temperatures;
fabric not to be ironed.
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes
(sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.). If the fabric is blended (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetics),
set the knob to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lowest temperature.
If you do not know the composition of the fabric, test the temperature on a hidden corner of the
garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the
stains on the fabric, making them irremovable. Starch is more effective if you use the dry iron
at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid making silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out. To avoid
making velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not press
down on the iron. The more loaded the washing machine, the more creased the garments.
This also happens with excessive spin drying. Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not
completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
