Ironing can be made easier by organising the handling of laundry carefully.
  • The ironing will be quicker, if you hang the wet garment in its original shape straightening and stretching the seams.
  • Use fabric conditioner in the last rinse, unless it is forbidden in the care instructions of the garment.
  • When collecting dry laundry, fold it neatly to minimise wrinkling.
 
Hanging laundry to dry
 
  First, flap the damp shirt briskly once or twice in the air, and then straighten the row of buttons and the collar by stretching them lightly. If necessary, stretch the sleeves and the seams. It is best to peg the shirt on the line from the hem. Bright sunlight may make a white shirt yellow and discolour a colourful shirt.
