Ironing Techniques

Open the wrinkles starting from the middle and moving towards the edge. Do not press the iron hard, because what matters is not the physical force of the iron but its heat and steam power.

Ironing Techniques

• Open the wrinkles starting from the middle and moving towards the edge. Do not press the iron hard, because what matters is not the physical force of the iron but its heat and steam power.
• For clothes like shirts, sweaters, aprons, and dresses, iron the collar, cuffs, sleeves, and finally the body in that order. If you do it in reverse, other parts may get wrinkled again while ironing the detailed areas.
• Do not iron your clothes that are not completely clean or are stained. Because with high heat, stains penetrate deep into the fabric.
• Iron silks inside out and never spray water. Otherwise, water stains will remain on the fabric.
• Try to iron velvet clothes with vertical steam power. If the wrinkles do not come out, iron the fabric inside out.
• Steam power is important. Irons with limescale build-up on the heating element will not heat up. Use purified water to get the maximum benefit from your iron. This can be iron water sold in markets, drinking water, or boiled and rested water.
• Pay attention to your lace items being damp when ironing them. If they are dry, it is useful to dip them in water and take them out. If it is delicate lace, use an ironing cloth. If it is more durable, iron it inside out.
• Iron the pleats of trousers or skirts first inside out and then from the right side. This way, they will be more defined.
• If you are going to use starch in your ironing, adjust its stiffness by diluting it. Use the starch by spraying it lightly with a spray bottle until the fabric reaches the desired stiffness.
