• Before ironing, check the garment label and follow manufacturer’s instructions. If no
instructions, start with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, and gradually
increase heat.
• Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles requiring a low-temperature setting and
gradually work up the temperature range.
• When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, allow 5 minutes for
change to allow the iron to heat up or cool down.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric to allow the steam to penetrate
the fabric and the heat of the soleplate to dry the moisture.
• Iron linen garments inside out to prevent shine. An ironing cloth or cotton fabric can be
used to reduce shine.
• Iron cotton while the fabric is still damp, or pre-moisten it with a spray bottle. Set the
temperature to a high setting and use steam for stubborn wrinkles and creases
• Iron denim on the highest heat setting and use steam. Use starch for crisp, neatly creased
fabric.
• Ensure zippers are closed and flap is flat. Iron over the flap, holding the garment taut.
• Spray starch makes the job easier.
