Tips
- If the article consists of various kind of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester (2).
- If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) the article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will
not be visible when you wear or use the article.
- Silk, woolen and synthetic materials : iron the reverse side of the
fabric to prevent shiny patches.
- Fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be ironed in one
direction only (along with the nap) while applying very little pressure.
