IRONING TIPS

1. Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
2. The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fiber.

3. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, select always the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibers.

4. Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side. Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keeps the iron moving at any moment.

5. Never iron over a zip or buttons. This will damage the soleplate.
