IRONING TIPS
To prevent excessive wrinkles after laundering garments, use the following ironing tips:
- Always follow recommended laundry instructions attached to individual garments.
- Do not overload the washer or dryer.
- Always wash/dry light and heavy articles separately. Mixing can cause wrinkles in both the
washing and drying cycles.
- Keep clothing items spaced in closet and try not to crowd garments after ironing.
Preventing Excessive Wrinkles in Garments
Ironing Your Garments
- Follow the recommended heat cycles below for each garment type:
LOW HEAT: MEDIUM HEAT: HIGH HEAT:
Acetates & Acrylics Silks & Polyesters Rayons, Nylons, & Cottons
- Use a steam iron or dampen your garments with a spray bottle before ironing.
- Iron clothes on the outside layer of fabric, unless the pattern of fabric requires ironing
from the inside out (corduroy, embroidery, etc).
- Begin ironing sections of clothes that hang off the board first, such as sleeves, collars,
bows, ties, etc, and then move to the body of the articles.
- Always iron clothes in the length-wise direction.
- Never iron with quick, jerky motions. Instead, use unhurried, rhythmic motions. Allow the
heat of the iron to do its work with time and don’t press down hard on the iron.
- Lift up with each stroke when ironing lightweight materials. Never run the iron back and
forth over delicate fabrics.
