Which fabrics are best suited for?
Ironing machines, especially steam systems, are generally suitable for a variety of fabric types. However, some fabrics may have features that are worth considering:
- Cotton and linen. Ironing machines are well suited for natural fabrics such as cotton and linen. They effectively straighten wrinkles and make fabrics smooth.
- Silk and wool. Delicate fabrics such as silk and wool require a more careful approach. It is important to choose a low temperature and use steam carefully to avoid damage.
- Synthetic fabrics. For synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon, higher temperatures and more steam can be used.
- Delicate fabrics. For delicate fabrics such as lace or organza, it is best to use low steam irons or irons on the delicate setting.
- Fabrics with trim. If the fabric has decorative elements, such as rhinestones or embroidery, you should be careful not to damage them when ironing.
It is important to read the care instructions for each type of fabric and follow the ironing machine manufacturer's recommendations. If you are unsure of the appropriate mode, it is better to first test on a small area of fabric before ironing the entire garment.
