Use of the steam iron like a professional
The normal steam iron generates only a
little quantity of steam.
In this case it is necessary to produce
steam continuously in order to elimina-
te the folds of the fabrics that are being
iro- ned.
A professional ironing system works in a
different way.
The fabric is dampened before with the
steam then, in a second time, ironing
normally without steam.
This means that all the folds are remo-
ved and your cloth is perfectly ironed.
In the first phase (dampen the fabric
with steam), hold the iron about 20 cm
above the fabric and press the steam
button.
Pass the iron above the cloth with a cir-
cular motion in order the steam jet can
dampen the fabric.
Clothes that don’t are too wrinkled re-
quire only some few steam, and the fa-
brics too wrinkled or clothes with folds
very difficult must be dampened, so it
is necessary to pass much more steam.
During the second phase (ironing wi-
thout steam) check the thermostat knob
is in the correct position to the fabric
type, release the steam button and iro-
ning the cloth without steam.
The special soleplate will avoid that the
fabric will becomes bright.
Using this technique and following the
advices into the table it will be easy for
you to iron your cloth with a professio-
nal ironing.
