introduction
We all know the fuss with traditional irons: choosing the right temperature
for your jeans and delicate fabrics, waiting for the iron to warm up and cool
down. Many of us have ruined clothes with an iron that was too hot for the
job. Those disasters are a thing of the past with the new Philips PerfectCare.
The principle of ironing is to transmit heat to the garments to remove
the creases. In the past, it was done with a very hot soleplate. Then
manufacturers added some steam to the soleplate to speed up the heat
transfer to the garments, making ironing much quicker.
Our researches have shown that a high amount of steam is actually the
best way to remove the toughest creases quickly. The effect of the soleplate
is minimal. The soleplate just needs to be above steam temperature to
remove any moisture. This is the optimal temperature. At this temperature,
not a single ironable garment can be damaged and ironing is extremely
effective.
The challenge was to deliver a high amount of steam at this optimal
temperature. In the past this would have led to water spitting, leaking and
staining.
To generate the high-pressure steam that does the work with a soleplate at
this optimal temperature, we developed a unique cyclonic chamber.
The steam generated penetrates deep into the fabric for fast ironing with
no risk of water leaking. There are no complicated dials and you do not
have to wait for the iron to warm up and cool down. Nor is there any risk
of scorching your favourite clothes. It is faster, no matter who does the ironing.

Happy ironing!
