Ironing FAQs

What fabrics should not be ironed?

Avoid ironing sequins, velvet, decals, or other printed designs that will melt under the heat of an iron. In addition, do not iron clothes that are dirty or stained as the heat will set the stain into the fabric – sometimes permanently.

How to use the steam setting?

Use the steam setting when you want to add dampness to your clothes. This is particularly effective if your garment is not already damp or has tough wrinkles. 

How do you prevent burn marks on clothes?

The usual reason why your iron is leaving burn marks is because the iron is dirty. Use a brush to scrub it using a baking soda and vinegar mixture. Use a clean cloth to wipe it off afterward.
