PREPARATIONS

Sort the laundry according to the international symbols shown on the labels; if these are
missing, sort according to the type of material.
Start to iron the garments that require a lower temperature so as to reduce idle time (the iron
requires less time to warm up than to cool down) and eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.
Synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester: low temperatures;
wool, silk: medium temperatures;
cotton, linen: high temperatures;
do not iron.

TIPS ON IRONING

It is recommended to use the lowest temperatures on fabric with particular details (sequins,
embroidery, satin, etc.). In the case of mixed fabric, (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetic), set the
temperature knob to the lowest.
To determine the temperature of a fabric with an unknown composition, first test a hidden
corner, starting with a low temperature and gradually increase it to the ideal temperature.
Never iron perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate sets the stains on the fabric,
making them become indelible. Starch helps all the more when a dry iron is used at a low
temperature: excessive heat burns it and a yellow stain may appear. Prevent shine effects
from forming on silk, wool or synthetics, iron on reverse side. Prevent shine effects from
forming on velvet, iron in one direction (following the fabric) and do not press on the iron.
The more the washing machine is loaded, the more creased the garments will be.
The same applies when the spin speed is high. Many fabrics are ironed more easily when
not completely dry. Silk should always be ironed while damp.
