Ironing temperature

• Always check first if a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed .(See table) Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
• If ironing instructions are missing but you know the kind of fabric, then see the table for recommended ironing temperatures.

low temperature
| silk – wool| ••
medium temperature
| Cotton – linen| •••
high temperature
| Fabric not to be ironed

• The table is valid for the recommended ironing temperature.
• The table is valid for the fiber materials only.
• If some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle, relief etc,),the textile can best be ironed at a lower temperature.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibers.
• Then progress to the higher temperatures. Finish by ironing cotton and linen.
• If the article is made of a mixture of different fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of those fibers. (E.g. an article consisting of”60%polyester and 40% cotton” should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester).
• If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article has been made of, tied a spot which will be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature,(Always start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results).
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk to prevent shining spots. TO prevent staining do not use the spray on silk or other delicate fabrics.
