Ironing is an essential part of laundry care. It gives your clothes a crisp and polished appearance, making them look fresh and new. However, not everyone knows how to iron properly. In this guide, we’ll share some tips on how to effectively iron your clothes and keep them looking their best.
First, make sure that your iron is set to the correct temperature for the fabric you’re ironing. If the iron is too hot, it can scorch delicate fabrics, while an iron that’s not hot enough won’t effectively remove wrinkles. Check the care label on your garment to determine the appropriate temperature.
Next, make sure that your ironing board is clean and free of any debris that could transfer onto your clothes. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the surface before starting.
When ironing, always work from the top down, starting with the collar and sleeves. Use the tip of the iron to get into tight areas, such as cuffs and pockets. For larger areas, such as the back of a shirt, use a back-and-forth motion to cover the entire surface.
Finally, hang or fold your clothes immediately after ironing to prevent wrinkles from forming again. It’s also a good idea to use a fabric spray or starch to help maintain the crisp appearance of your clothes.
