STEP 4 - PRESSING WITH STEAM
BEFORE PRESSING
*It will make pressing easier if there are few creases in the
laundry.
*To avoid excess creasing, shake each item out before placing
them in a drier or hanging them out to dry in the open air.
*For towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, peg drape them over a
rod or steam press them in place over towel racks.
PRESS
a. Grasp the control handle of the steamer hose once the steam is being
released.
b. Hold the control handle with the nozzle facing upward and begin at the
bottom of a garment allowing the escaping steam to rise inside and
outside removing the wrinkles as it rises.
c. After a few seconds, remove the nozzle from the garment. Smooth the
garment with your free hand and check to see if more steam is
necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For heavier fabrics you may need to use repeated
applications. Avoid heating a single area with steam for a prolonged
period. Check the garment periodically to see that the process is
succeeding.
With practice you will gain speed and efficiency. You will also learn which
of your clothes require more steam pressing than others.
