Ironing Tips

Some loathe ironing; for others it’s a simple domestic pleasure.

There are ways to make this neccessary chore easier:

• Your iron should be clean and free of residue – if not, heat on low and pass over slightly rough paper until it leaves no mark. 
• A light spray vanquishes creases – we love fragranced linen waters as they smooth and scent at once. 
• For easily scorched fabrics a pressing cloth is a must. Use a wide-weave linen tea towel if you don’t have the real thing. 
• Your ironing board must be sturdy, the right height and easy to fold. 
• The ironing board cover should fit perfectly, allowing the iron to glide and reflect heat back. We love Fitz Like a Glove covers from Interface, not just because they’re made in rural Australia by people with disabilites, but also because they really work.
