advice for good ironing
• We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins,
embroidery, flush, etc.).
• If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton and 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature
of the fibre 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 fixes the stains
on the fabric, making them irremovable.
• The size is more effective 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 fibre) 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.
