How to get a professional ironing finish
A normal iron generates only a small quantity of steam. In this case it is necessary to products
steam constantly in order to eliminate crease in the fabric being ironed.
A professional ironing system works rather differently. The fabric is first made damp by the steam
and then, in a second phase, dry-ironed in the normal way. This means that every. Tiniest crease
is removed and your garments are ironed to perfection.
In the first phase (steam-damping of the fabric),hold the iron about 20 cm above the fabric and
press the steam(2). Pass the iron over the garment in a circular movement so that the powerful jet
of steam damps the fabric. Lightly creased garments require only a few moments of steaming.
While very heavy fabrics or garments with particularly difficult creases must be damper, so steam
must be applied for a few seconds more.
During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the thermostat knob is in the correct position
for the type of fabrics; dry-iron the garment. The special ironing plate will prevent the fabrics from
becoming shiny. Using this ironing technique, and following the suggestions in the chart below,
you will find it easy to give your garments a really professional ironing finish.
