a low temperature and increase to one which
gives the required results.)
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be
pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It
is recommended to apply shot-of-steam and
use a dry pressing cloth.
When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of
the fabric may occur. This can be prevented by
turning the article inside out and ironing the
inside.
• Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquire
shiny spots should be ironed in one direction
only (with the nap), applying only light pressure.
Always keep the iron moving.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and
silk to prevent shining spots. When ironing
coloured silk, it is not advisable to use steam as
this may cause stains.
