tips

 - If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the 

most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if an ar ticle consists of 60% 

polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (

) 

and without steam. 

 - When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To prevent this, use a dr y 

pressing cloth or turn the ar ticle inside out and iron the reverse side.

 - Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only  

(along with the nap) while you apply ver y little pressure.

 - Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
