HOUSEHOLD LAUNDRY: DRY CLEANING II

Ironing

Ironing is the process of using a heated iron to remove wrinkles and creases from fabric, resulting in a smooth and polished appearance. It is an essential step in the laundry process, particularly for garments and linens made from natural fibers like cotton or linen that tend to wrinkle easily.

General rules for ironing during dry cleaning

1. Use the Correct Temperature Setting: Adjust the temperature of the iron according to the fabric type to avoid damaging delicate fabrics. Most irons have temperature settings labeled for different fabric types such as cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic blends.
2. Use Steam: Steam can help to relax wrinkles and make ironing more effective, especially for stubborn creases. Many irons have a steam function or a separate steam setting that can be used to release wrinkles.
3. Iron in Sections: Work on ironing one section of the garment at a time, starting with the areas that are least likely to wrinkle, such as collars and cuffs, before moving on to larger sections like sleeves and body.
4. Iron Inside Out: For garments with delicate or embellished surfaces, such as those with embroidery or prints, iron them inside out to protect the design and prevent damage.
5. Use a Pressing Cloth: When ironing delicate fabrics or garments with sensitive finishes, place a pressing cloth (such as a clean cotton cloth or a thin towel) between the iron and the fabric to prevent direct heat contact.
6. Avoid Over-Ironing: Be careful not to apply too much pressure or iron over the same area repeatedly, as this can cause shine or damage to the fabric.
7. Hang Garments Properly: Hang ironed garments immediately after ironing to prevent wrinkles from forming again. Use padded hangers for delicate fabrics to maintain their shape.

Importance of household laundry

1. Regular laundering removes dirt, sweat, and body oils from clothing and linens, helping to maintain cleanliness and prevent odors.
2. Proper laundering techniques help to extend the life of clothing and textiles by removing stains, preventing fabric deterioration, and maintaining color vibrancy.
3. Ironing and folding clothing after laundering improves their appearance, making them look neat, polished, and professional.
4. Clean, freshly laundered clothing and linens are more comfortable to wear and use, contributing to overall well-being and comfort.
5. Clean, well-maintained clothing is often considered a sign of respect and professionalism in many cultures and social settings.
