advice for good ironing

• We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual nishes (sequins,

embroidery, ush, etc.).

• If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton and 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature

of the bre requiring the lower temperature.

• If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing

on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until

it reaches the ideal temperature.

• Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate xes the stains

on the fabric, making them irremovable.

• The size is more eective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches

it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.

• To avoid marking silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.

• To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the bre) and do not

press down on the iron.

• The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also

happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.

• Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry. For example, silk should always be

ironed damp.
