Information and advice
Safety first!
As irons heat up quicker than they cool down, always start with
articles requiring low heat (such as synthetic fibres or those with a
gloss or wrinkle finish) and leave those requiring higher temperatures
until last.
WARNING: If you are ironing fabric containing a mixture of fibres,
always select the temperature for the fibre requiring the lowest heat.
For example an article consisting of nylon and wool should be ironed
at the temperature indicated for nylon.
Check the ironing
instructions on the label in
your garment.
Sort fabrics according to
ironing temperature.
For example wool, cotton
and linen.
