In life, our clothes are easily wrinkled or deformed after being washed and worn daily, causing the clothes to lose their beauty. At this time, ironing is particularly important. Ironing is the process of using a heated iron to flatten the clothes after they have been washed. However, clothes are made of various fabrics, and you also need to “prescribe the right medicine” when ironing. Next, the editor will introduce to you several common methods of ironing clothes.

Deformed pants: After wearing pants for a long time, bulging “big bags” often appear in the knees.

Solution: For such deformed pants, it is best to use an electric steam iron. Iron the back half of the trousers first. When ironing, straighten the back half of the trousers with your hands, unfold the wrinkles and then iron until the back half of the trousers returns to its natural state. Then iron the front part of the pants. When ironing, the front half of the knee will bulge, so if you straighten the pants, the front half will wrinkle. At this time, start ironing from the upper and lower parts of the trousers. Place the iron gently on the trousers and press the steam switch to allow the wrinkled parts to shrink naturally under the heat of the iron. The same method is used on the knee area. When the big bulge turns into a small bulge, continue to use the above method. Repeat this method to restore it to its original shape. Finally, iron the entire pants again.

Synthetic fiber: If the temperature is not controlled well, the clothes will be scrapped

Synthetic fiber clothing has poor moisture absorption and different heat resistance, so controlling the ironing temperature is key. Nylon fabrics are wear-resistant and elastic, but the ironing temperature should not be high, so you should put a dry cloth on top of the fabric before ironing. Since there are many types of chemical fiber clothing, it is difficult to control the temperature. Before ironing for the first time, you can try ironing an inconspicuous part of the clothing to avoid ironing damage.

Cotton and linen fabrics: You can turn up the steam volume.

Generally, the reverse ironing method is used. If the front is ironed, a clean white cloth should be placed on it. Colored clothes should be ironed on the inside first, and the temperature should not be too high to avoid shiny reflection or discoloration after ironing, making the clothes brittle and damaged. When ironing linen fabrics and cotton and linen blended fabrics, the iron temperature should be low, the clothes should be ironed first, and ironing should be done with a cloth to prevent fuzzing from damaging the clothes.

Silk fabric: The wrinkle resistance is poor after washing, and shrinkage often occurs.

When ironing, the temperature of the iron is generally controlled between 110℃ and 120℃. Too high a temperature will easily cause the clothes to become discolored and discolored. Shrink, soften, deform, and in severe cases damage clothing. Brightly colored, light-colored clothing and blended silk clothing should be kept at a lower temperature. Don’t use too much force when ironing. The iron should keep moving and don’t stay in one place for too long. Do not iron the silk surface directly with the iron. Use a cloth to iron it, or iron the reverse side of the clothes to prevent the formation of aurora, branding or water stains, which will affect the appearance and washing quality.

Note: The fabric of the tie is mostly silk and should be ironed using the above method.

Pleated skirt: Be careful not to iron out the original pleats
