HINTS AND TIPS

General Advice

WARNING!
Take care to avoid skin coming into contact with the iron's soleplate
or steam.
Sort your washing into different temperature groups before you start ironing.
Start with the low temperature items then work your way up to those which
require a higher temperature.
Take great care when ironing clothing fitted with zips or metal studs, to avoid
scratching the soleplate.
If you are in any doubt about ironing a delicate/unusual fabric, always refer to the
garment label, iron at a low temperature and test an inconspicuous area first if
possible.
Ensure that the soleplate is clean before ironing.
Do not iron the front of t-shirts and sweatshirts which have screen-printed or
embossed graphics. Always iron inside-out on a low temperature to avoid
damage.
Avoid ironing over buttons - iron around them. Use a teaspoon to protect very
delicate fabric covered or 'designer' buttons.
Place embroidered items face down on a towel and iron gently on the reverse to
avoid crushing the embroidery.
Always iron collars from tip to seam to avoid pulling creases to the tip.
To minimise creasing, allow freshly ironed clothes to cool completely before
wearing, or storing away.
Always iron dark linen on the wrong side only to avoid marking.
When ironing sheets or tablecloths, you will achieve the best results if you can
set up your ironing board in front of a large table. Commence with the fabric at
your feet and, as each section is ironed, push it back onto the table. This will
minimise creasing and make the fabric much easier to handle. For best results,
iron tablecloths immediately before use to avoid creasing during storage.
