Ironing delicate fabrics requires a gentle touch and the right know-how. From silk to lace, here are our top tips to ensure your delicate garments remain damage-free and beautifully pressed:
Silk
Always use the lowest heat setting on your iron. Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent direct contact. Move the iron quickly to avoid burning or leaving marks.
Lace
Due to its intricate patterns and delicate nature, lace should be ironed using a pressing cloth. Ensure the iron is set to a low temperature, and always iron on the reverse side to maintain the fabric's texture.
Chiffon
This lightweight fabric can be easily damaged by high heat. Use a low setting and a pressing cloth. It's also beneficial to iron chiffon while it's slightly damp to achieve the best results.
