Start with clothes needing the lowest
temperature, then work upwards.
(This lowers the risk of burning
something because an iron switched
from 'hot' to 'cool' takes time to cool

For mixed fibres, eg cotton and
polyester, use the lowest suitable
temperature.
l
If in doubt, start with a low
temperature on a part that won't be
seen (eg a shirt tail).
