How to iron like a pro
Oh, those pesky wrinkles! There's something oddly satisfying about waving them goodbye with an iron, isn't there? But hey, if you don’t really know how to use an iron properly, those stubborn wrinkles are going to put up a fight, no matter how much you try to iron them away.
Picture this: your clothes playing hard to get, giving you the wrinkle runaround. No matter how much you press and smooth, those wrinkles just refuse to cooperate. If this sounds familiar, then these ironing tips are exactly what you need.
One temperature does not fit all
Different fabrics require different ironing temperatures. So read the labels on your clothes before you get started, and adjust your iron’s temperature accordingly. Here’s the recommended temperature levels for different fabrics.- Low temperature: Polyester, silk, nylon
- Medium temperature: Wool
- High temperature: Cotton, linen
Iron while clothes are damp
It’s normally best to iron clothes when they’re slightly damp. This helps with getting rid of wrinkles and creases. To add dampness to your fabrics, use a spray bottle to spray water, or your iron’s own steam function. Use ironing spray like spray starch to get extra stubborn wrinkles out.
Glide your iron smoothly
Smooth, straight strokes get the job done. Don’t wiggle your iron around, and make sure to glide along the length of the fabric (from collar to hem) to avoid unwanted stretching.Now all that's left is to follow these steps for every piece of clothing, and voila – you'll soon have a neat stack of flawlessly smooth garments in no time! Keep honing those skills, and you'll become an ironing pro in no time.
