Ironing clothes is considered a daily task for women that serves not only themselves but also their families. Everyone wants to appear in well-pressed clothes. This somewhat helps improve your image in the eyes of those around you.
Modern women are also busy with their own work and do not want to spend too much time and effort on ironing clothes every day. However, you don’t have to worry too much because there are many tricks to make ironing clothes easier and faster.
Double the heat

Do not understand literally to increase the temperature of the iron. Here, we use aluminum foil spread on the ironing board before ironing clothes. The aluminum layer on the foil increases the heat of the iron, quickly smoothes and flattens both sides of the clothes, helping save a lot of time.
Clean water
This is one of the reasons why steam irons are becoming more and more popular in our daily lives. The strong steam helps remove wrinkles on the fabric faster. According to the manufacturer’s recommendation, we should only use tap water, boiled water, or filtered water, absolutely not use water with chemicals like fabric softener, perfume to avoid clogging the iron.
Iron from inside out
A small tip to remember is to iron the sleeve cuffs, edges, collar, and back of the pants first. Then, iron from the inside out to avoid wrinkles, creases, or distortion of the clothes. Note that ironing thin clothes first like silk, satin fabric and then thick materials will save more energy.

In the ironing process, you should move the iron in straight lines and decisively because moving the iron in circular motions will cause wrinkles, fabric shrinkage, and may even ruin your favorite clothes. Moreover, ironing clothes in straight lines will not stretch the fabric and increase the lifespan of the clothes.
Keep the iron clean
We must always keep the iron clean to avoid dirt sticking to the clothes while ironing. You can use a cloth soaked in baking soda solution and wipe the surface of the iron after ironing while it is still warm or use toothpaste with an old toothbrush to clean the steam vents of the iron.
Hang clothes after ironing
After ironing, you should quickly hang the clothes on a hanger to keep the creases, avoid wrinkles, and most importantly, not have to re-iron from the beginning.
Secure the creases
To keep the creases on the clothes or the hemline, you can use paper clips to secure them. This way, the clothes will not lose the creases and make the process of ironing clothes much easier and faster. For pleated skirts, after securing, you should iron from top to bottom to avoid losing creases and ruining the shape of the skirt.
