IRONING TIPS

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fiber.
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibers.
Synthetic fibre and silk fabrics should be ironed on their inner side to avoid being shone.
Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keeps the iron moving at any moment.
Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the steam iron. Preferably set temperature dial to the third position and use a dry cloth as a mat.
Never iron over zip, rivet in the cloth. This will damage the soleplate. Iron around any such object.
