IRON TEMPERATURE
• Always check first if a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be
ironed.

• If some kind of finish has been applied(gloss, wrinkle relief etc.).The textile can best
be ironed at a lower temperature.
• First sort out the fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore start ironing the articles
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fabrics.
• Then progress to the higher temperatures .Finish by ironing cotton and linen.
• If the article is made of a mixture of different fibers. You must always select the lowest
ironing temperature of the composition of those fibers.(e.g.an article consisting of “60%
polyester and 40% cotton should be ironed on the temperature indicated for polyester.)
• If you do not know what kind of fabric the article has been made of find a spot which
will be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature.(Always
start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results.)
• Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquired should be ironed in one direction
only(with the nap)applying only light pressure. Always keep the iron moving.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk to prevent shining spots. To prevent
staining do not use the spray on silk or other delicate fabrics.

fabric table by means of the temperature dial.
