Clothing Common Sense: Correct Ironing Method

Pay attention to the collar and cuffs of the shirt

Iron first clothes It is necessary to find out what kind of fabric the clothes are. Different fabric fibers can withstand different temperatures, so it will cause less damage to the fabric. It is better to use a steam iron, which will not only save water but also cause less damage to the fabric. However, it should be noted that it is better to put pure water into the steam iron. I used to put tap water, but after several times of use, I found that white scale would come out from the air jet hole, and the air jet hole would be blocked after a long time.

Before ironing, check whether the bottom of the iron is clean. If anything has stuck to it before, be sure to remove it when the iron cools down, because when the iron is hot, it will melt the things stuck to it, which is easy to stick to the clothes. I accidentally ironed the nylon fabric on the ironing board before and didn't pay attention to it, As a result, the pasted nylon on the next ironing melted again and rubbed against the clothes as soon as it was ironed. When cleaning, you can drop a few drops of oil on the bottom of the iron, and then heat the iron on the wet towel until the dirt is wiped off. This will not only make the iron clean, but also feel smooth when ironing next time.

Sweaters should not be ironed directly, because you don't know whether they will damage the surface fiber of the sweater. You can steam them directly and iron them gently. Silk and chiffon clothes should be pressed with a piece of white cloth, and the bottom plate should not be too hard, otherwise the clothes will appear rigid when ironed.

When ironing pants, you'd better also use cloth to iron them. You may find that the surface of wool pants, in particular, will become particularly bright after being sent to dry cleaning and ironing. That's because many dry cleaners are irresponsible. No matter what materials are made, they iron them directly on the surface with an iron. In order to look smooth and convenient, they also iron them with special force, so the fabric tissue is damaged, severely worn, and especially ugly, as if it is old. When ironing, you can turn the pants over first, iron the seams, pockets, crotch and other places, and then turn them over to iron the front and back, as well as the trouser legs; If you need to iron the creases of the pants, you can align them and fix them with pins, and then iron them without skewing.

Shirts are the most frequently ironed ones. Collars and cuffs are difficult to iron. Do not pull hard for ironing, and do not iron them into dead wrinkles. This will make them look ugly. Just like the collar and button of a suit can never be ironed into dead wrinkles. When ironing, you can first fix the shape and then iron them, or you can iron them gently, Then take advantage of the waste heat to shape it by hand, so that the ironed clothes will not appear rigid. There is also the position of buttons. Because there are buttons, it is always impossible to iron them. You can take a bath towel, fold it in half, lay the shirt on the bath towel in the opposite direction, and iron the buttons on the opposite side. The ironed buttons will be smooth, and the sleeve position is the same. You can also reverse the sleeve, Then use a small towel to fold it into 20%, put it into the cuff, and then iron it will be much more convenient.

After ironing, don't fold the clothes and put them in the wardrobe immediately, otherwise all your previous work will be wasted. You must hang them in a ventilated place to dry for a while to evaporate the moisture, so that the clothes can not only keep flat, but also prevent mildew, killing two birds with one stone.
