ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual
finishes (sequins, embroidery, plush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to
the temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable
temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low
temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the
soleplate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
Sizing agent is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature:
excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid making silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside
out.
To avoid making velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the
fibre) and do not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out
creased. This also happens when the spin drying speed is very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
