Today's edition. "Site" will tell How to use the iron correctlyIn order not to leave harmful microorganisms a single chance, as well as not to spoil the clothes themselves.



Iron ironing not only gives clothes a neat look, but also makes it sterile. Hot steam helps rid your favorite things of bacteria, fungi, microbes and even dust mites.



And although many believe that washing at high water temperature eliminates the need to use an iron, but this is not the case. Smoothing things to be sure of their cleanliness is definitely worth it. No wonder in solid hotels things are not only thoroughly washed, but also ironed.

The higher the temperature of the iron, the less likely to survive in pests, but you need to take into account what material the thing is made of. So cotton, linen and denim things are considered the most persistent and carry the temperature even in 200 degrees. When ironing, it is recommended to moisten the fabric with steam or even clean water from the spray gun.



Less resistant to high temperature are considered cotton products (up to 170 degrees). Even more sensitive tissues can be called viscose (up to 120 degrees) and silk (up to 110 degrees).

It is also important what device to use for ironing. The usual iron today is a light and compact thing with an abundance of functions and solid power. Universal assistant, able to cope with most tasks.



If you need to iron a lot of things in a short period of time, then use a steam generator. This device has a large reservoir of water, which in the process and turns into a powerful steam. Steam generator in a couple of seconds you can smooth even deep folds.

Before ironing, you need to make sure what fabric the thing is made of and how it can be ironed (if at all possible). On the tag, this information is in the form of a drawn iron. So how do we decipher these symbols?

  3. Iron icon with one point inside - ironing temperature not more than 110 degrees.
  4. Iron icon with two points inside - ironing temperature up to 150 degrees.
  5. Iron icon with three points inside - ironing temperature up to 200 degrees (maximum).
  6. A crossed iron is drawn on tags of things that cannot be ironed or steamed.
  7. An iron with a steam crossed out below means that the thing can be ironed, but you can not steam.


It is very important to choose the desired degree of heating, because, for example, synthetic fabrics can instantly scorch or even melt in an instant if you choose the wrong iron tinctures. But at too low a temperature, the same cotton fabrics will not iron well.



Do not forget to hang the thing after ironing, because if the just ironed shirt is carelessly thrown on the bed, then it will dry with new bruises. Better put it on the hanger right away and let it dry.
