How to get a professional ironing finish
A normal iron generates only a small quantity of steam. In this case it is necessary to
produce steam constantly in order to eliminate crease in the fabric being ironed.
A professional ironing system works rather differently. The fabric is first made
Damp by the steam and then, in a second phase, dry-ironed in the normal way. This
means that every. Tiniest crease is removed and your garments are ironed to perfection.
In the first phase (steam-damping of the fabric),hold the iron about 20 cm. above
The fabric and press the steam. Pass the iron over the garment in a circular movement so
that the powerful jet of steam damps the fabric. Lightly creased garments require only a
few moments of steaming. While very heavy fabrics or garments with particularly difficult
creases must be damper, so steam must be applied for a few seconds more.
During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the thermostat knob is in the correct
position for the type of fabrics; release the steam button and dry-iron the garment.
The special soleplate will prevent the fabrics from becoming shiny. Using this ironing
technique, and following the suggestions in the chart above, you will find it easy to give
your garments a really professional ironing finish.
