If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing
temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of
synthetic fibres.

tips
-
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the
most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (1) and
without steam.
-
When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To prevent this, use a dry
pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
-
Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with
the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
-
Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
Type of fabric
Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acetate, acrylic, viscose,
polyamide, polyester) and silk
Wool
Cotton, linen
Please note that Z on the label means that
the article cannot be ironed.
