Tips
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester
and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated
for polyester (1) and without steam.
When steam ironing woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur.You
can prevent this by using a dry pressing cloth or by turning the
article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
Velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should
be ironed in one direction only (along with the nap) while applying
very little pressure.
Do not use steam when you are ironing coloured silk.This could
cause stains.
