Fabric care - ironing
Types of irons
- Dry irons. Dry irons are the most basic ones and are typically quite inexpensive.
- Steam irons. These irons create a smoother press and help remove wrinkles on cotton and linen fabrics.
- Portable irons. This type of iron is for frequent travelers who want their clothes wrinkle-free and always presentable.
- A steamer can be used for traveling as well.
As a general rule, to prevent a garment becoming shiny when ironing, don't have the setting higher than the "wool" setting.
