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.
• Use the Ironing Guide on Page 15 to select the best
setting and method for the fabric you plan to iron.
