be visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent
stains.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic fibres.
