Steam irons are usually used for household irons. If it is polyester or silk, it needs low temperature. It is best to cover it with cotton cloth to avoid scalding clothes. When ironing with electricity, we should pay attention to the ironing effect and the subtle changes in the smell and color of fabrics (especially natural fiber fabrics). When the temperature is not enough during ironing, we should immediately cut off the power supply and reconnect it. If you use a non-steam iron, if you want to protect your clothes, you can put a wet cloth on them for ironing. Because water turns into steam, the temperature will drop rapidly. At this time, you need to slow down the ironing speed, which can be light before heavy, so that the water evaporates and spreads evenly and the temperature distribution is even.

The clothes to be ironed should not be too dry. If the clothes are too dry, put them on a smooth surface and spray water evenly before ironing, or spread a wringing wet cloth on the clothes. If there are small mildew spots on clothes, you can wash them with vinegar first and then iron them. Prepare a square piece of pure cotton cloth as a cushion cloth, because ironing the surface of clothes directly with an iron will shine and turn white after a long time, and it needs to be covered with a piece of cotton cloth before ironing. When ironing, you should follow the texture of the material. In the case of cutting materials diagonally, you should also iron along the grain line. Under normal circumstances, the reverse side should be ironed first, and then the front side should be ironed; Scald the thick ones first, then the thin ones; Iron nylon first, then cotton and linen.

Ironing principle: (1) iron the reverse side first, then the front side; Scald the part first, then the whole part. The order of coat ironing is: sewing > welting > placket > pocket > back > front > rotator cuff > collar. The ironing order of trousers is: waist > trousers seam > trousers > trouser legs.
