Selecting the ironing temperature.
Always read garment labels and follow the
manufacturer's ironing instructions. Refer
to the Ironing Chart for temperature
recommendations.
Hints for easier ironing
• Sort articles to be ironed according to the
type of fabric. This will reduce the need to
adjust the temperature to suit varying
garments.
• Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way through to
items requiring higher temperatures.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of a
garment, test a small area such as a seam
or inside hem section before ironing a
visible area. Start with a low temperature
and gradually increase the heat to find the
best setting for ironing the garment.
• When reducing the temperature to iron
sensitive fabrics, allow approximately 2
minutes for the iron to cool to the new
setting.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be
steam ironed with the temperature dial set
to Wool. Use an ironing cloth to prevent
shine marks on the fabric.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk
are best ironed with an ironing cloth to
prevent shine marks.
• Never iron areas of a garment where
perspiration marks are visible, as the heat
of the iron will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
