Better ironing results

Sort garments by fabric type and start with lower-temperature items before moving to fabrics that tolerate more heat. Smooth the garment on a stable ironing surface and keep the soleplate moving. Use steam only where the care label permits it; stubborn creases can respond to additional steam or spray when supported.

Do's

• Do read garment care labels before selecting heat.
• Do test uncertain fabrics on an inconspicuous area.
• Do keep the soleplate clean.
• Do use suitable water and descaling/self-clean procedures specified by the manufacturer.
• Do stand or store the hot iron safely between passes.

Don'ts

• Don't leave a hot soleplate resting face-down on fabric.
• Don't iron directly over prints, plastics or trims unless their care instructions permit it.
• Don't use abrasive tools that scratch the soleplate.
• Don't immerse the iron in water.
• Don't store it until fully cooled.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect and cool the iron before cleaning. Wipe the soleplate with a non-abrasive method suitable for its coating. Follow the model's anti-scale, self-clean or water-management instructions because mineral deposits can affect steam openings. Empty the tank when recommended before storage.

Steam iron vs dry iron

A steam iron adds moisture to help relax suitable fibres and tackle creases. A dry iron relies on heat and pressure alone and can be simpler for fabrics or situations where steam is unnecessary.
