Ironing temperature guide
• Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If these instructions
are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, consult the table.
• This table is only valid for plain fabrics and not for materials to which
finishes, glosses etc. have been applied. Textile to which some kind of
finish has been applied (gloss, crinkle, relief etc.) is best ironed at lower
temperatures.
• First sort the laundry according to ironing temperature: put wool with
wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, start
ironing articles that need to be ironed at the lowest temperature, such as
those made of synthetic fibres.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. If, for example, an article consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester
(1) and without steam.
