USING THE IRON
Ironing Temperatures:
Check the ironing instructions attached to the article (they are
on a label showing a symbol of an iron). Always follow these
ironing instructions. The indications on the iron's temperature
dial and the table below will help you.
If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric,
then use the table below. The table is valid only for the actual
materials and does not take account of any finish applied
to the fabric. Textiles to which a finish has been applied
(wrinkle relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be ironed at lower
temperatures.
If the fabric contains mixed fibres, select the lowest ironing
temperature of the composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester
/40% cotton mix at the temperature indicated for polyester.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Sort fabrics to be
ironed into groups according to temperature; wool with wool,
cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing articles requiring low
temperature settings and progress to higher ones.
Note: Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron's
