Tips for using the iron correctly
When ironing, mistakes are often made that may seem trivial at the time, but they are not at all. Firstly, you should avoid going over zippers and buttons, then when ironing synthetic fibre garments it is advisable to place a cloth between the iron and the fabric, to prevent it from sticking to the soleplate. If you make this mistake you will not only ruin the garment, but also the iron. Therefore, it is better to use distilled water to avoid lime build-up and to completely empty the tank every time you use it.
If you have an iron that is too old , maintenance can always be useful, but you cannot expect miracles, because an iron that has had its time cannot have much left to give . All that remains is to buy a new one. Nowadays there are various models on the market, both traditional and modern, there are even vertical irons that allow you to remedy small wrinkles in a few minutes without having to take out the ironing board.
Those who do very little ironing can settle for a classic iron , while those with a large family can buy an iron suitable for ironing large quantities of laundry, for example a professional one with a boiler. The latter requires more attention.
