Meet the 6 most common mistakes We Make While ironing
Have you seen that someone who goes to the street and then feels happy with himself or herself and saying that it is all good to walk the streets with rumpled clothes? Yeah, we know a lot of people do not like ironing clothes.
In fact, this can be a tedious and tiring job. And the worst: the result usually lasts a short time, as it is enough to dress the piece for two minutes that soon it will be kneaded again.
But it’s no use complaining, because many environments, especially workplaces, still require you to come with a certain type of clothing – and preferably with your clothes well worn.
So, the best we have to do is try to make that function less laborious, since complaints unfortunately do not pass clothes – yet. So check out the tips we have prepared with the most common mistakes when doing this and learn how to avoid them:
1. Spending too dry clothes
The moisture leaves the fabric softer, allowing wrinkles to add up as the iron passes through them. If clothes are very dry, use the steam release feature to make your work easier.
2. Leave the delicate pieces to the end
Iron takes longer to cool than to heat, so it’s best to start ironing your clothes through the most delicate ones, which require a lower temperature, and leave the more pieces of cotton to last.
3. Base the temperature on the heavier fabric
If the piece is made from a mixture of fabrics, adjust the thermostat according to the most delicate material. This will help you preserve your piece for longer.
4. Do not clean the iron
Melted fibers and remnants of chemicals added to the spray may end up staining fabrics. To avoid this effect, wipe the base of the iron with a paste of baking soda when it is cold.
5. Store the iron with water inside
Always empty the iron water container completely before storing it, especially if you place it on the base of ironing. This prevents excess water from damaging its internal parts and causes base discoloration.
6. Pass the pieces without stretching them
When using a vertical or hand rail, grasp the bottom of the hanging clothes with your hand and stretch them slightly, easing the process. In case of heavier fabrics, when the steam can not penetrate the fibers, turn the part inside out and pass it on both sides.
It is worth remembering that, like all our appliances, the irons also modernize. If you’re still hanging out with that iron from the 1990’s, maybe it’s time to take a look at models with new features and new materials best suited for the pieces of clothing we currently wear.
