tips

 - 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.

 - Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. 

 - 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.
