• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ programme.

• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator completely.

• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam. Disposal Our goods come in optimised packaging.
