The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint on
the garment.
The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
you ironed over a seam or a
fold in the garment.
The iron is safe to use on all ironable
garments. The shine or imprint is not
permanent and disappears when you wash
the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds. You can also place a cotton cloth over
the area to be ironed to avoid imprints.
