Ifirst of all, the iron dry or steam?

Although dry irons are generally better in

terms of end results, steam irons are

undoubtedly easier to use, since there is no

need to moisten the fabric and this saves time.

Ironing is considerably easier on a proper

ironing board complete with sleeve-board. A

sturdy, well-padded ironing board, positioned

so as to leave plenty of space all around, is far

preferable to the kitchen table. Lastly, you will

need a water spray, two cloths of different

thicknesses, spray starch and clothes hangers.

To iron correctly, first press garments with the

iron (without leaning hard!) to give shape, then

smooth with a "backwards and forwards"

movement. As a rule, start from the seams, then

do the tucks or pleats, then the sleeves and

collar, leaving the flat areas until last.

Always read the label, and in its absence, observe

these rules:

Cotton and linen: iron while damp using a hot

Wool: use steam, or place a damp cloth between

the garment and a dry iron;

Silk: iron d

amp an

d on the reverse side using a

cool iron or else place a sheet of tissue paper

between the fabric and the iron.

Velvet: always iron on the reverse side.

Shirts: start with the collar, then the sleeves,

cuffs and yoke (fitting the shoulder around the

end of the board). Take care not to catch the tip

of the iron in button holes. Button the shirt and

iron the front again, then fold and give a final

press.

Follow the same procedure for blouses, but hang

them on clothes hangers instead of folding.

Pleated skirts: flatten down the pleats and iron

them on the reverse side, turning the skirt around

over the end of the board.

Trousers: bring together any tucks or pleats;

using a cloth, iron one leg at a time. Place the

legs one on top of the other and iron the outside

of each one, pressing firmly.

Jackets: start with the sleeves, then the back,

the front and last of all the collar. Use a damp

cloth.

Sheets and curtains: these are easier ironed if

folded carefully beforehand, at least once, to re-

duce the width.
