On which side to iron

• Cotton work clothes and uniforms, tablecloths and aprons are ironed on the right side. Other textiles are ironed on the wrong side or both sides.
• The shine of the textile will increase, if it is ironed on too hard a surface or if the iron is pressed too hard on the seams and folds.
• Dark and semi-opaque or opaque fabrics are ironed on the wrong side of the garment.
• Shine can be reduced by steaming the textile against a soft surface.
• You can try to remove burn stains with a weak solution of vinegar or detergent

• Small and demanding details are ironed first
• Parts a double-layer of fabric are ironed first on the wrong side and last on the right side of the garment.
• The ironed parts of the fabric are moved away from the self, to avoid wrinkling of the warm and damp textile.
• Clothes are folded only after they have cooled.
