Clothes made of natural fabrics are very demanding in terms of care. UAportal will help you avoid mistakes when ironing linen fabrics by telling you about the 3 most common mistakes.

Incorrect temperature

When ironing linen items, it is very important to adjust the temperature of the iron according to the instructions on the label. Fabrics made of 100% linen can withstand high temperatures, but often contain other materials, so a very hot iron can damage or even burn clothes.

Neglecting the steaming mode

To effectively smooth linen clothes, you should use the steam function. It is recommended to pour distilled water into the iron to prevent the formation of limescale and stains on clothes. This method is completely safe for linen fabrics.

Incorrect ironing technique

When ironing, the movements should be uniform in the direction of the fabric fibers. It is important to avoid quick and sharp back and forth movements, as this can lead to uneven creases and stretching of the garment, which will ruin its appearance.
