Tips For Efficient Ironing

Ironing can sometimes be a daunting chore, but with the right set of equipment and techniques, this laundry task can become a breeze. Here are a few tips to make the most of your ironing:

  • Start with the right ironing board: Choose a board that suits your needs and provides a stable surface for ironing. Adjust the height to a comfortable to avoid unnecessary strain. 
  • Sort and prioritise your clothes: Group your garments based on fabric type and ironing temperature requirements. Start with lower heat settings for delicate fabrics and gradually increase as needed.
  • Remove stains and lint: Take care of any stains or dust on your clothing before ironing. Treating them in advance ensures that they don't set in permanently during the ironing proess. Our clothes care range will help you keep your clothes in good condition. 
  • Invest in a quality ironing board cover: A good ironing board cover not only protects your board but also enhances ironing performance. Choose a cover that offers heat reflection, smooth gliding and a snug fit.

Care and Maintenance Tips

To ensure the longevity of your ironing equipment, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here are a few tips to keep your ironing boards, covers and holders in excellent condition:

  • Clean your ironing board regularly: Wipe down the surface of your ironing board with a damp cloth to remove any residue or build-up. Ensure it's completely dry before using it again.
  • Wash your ironing board cover: Check the manufacturer's instructions for your specific cover, but most can be machine washed or hand washed. Regularly cleaning the cover helps maintain its performance and appearance.
  • Store your ironing board properly: When not in use, fold your ironing board and store it in a designated area to prevent damage. Use an ironing board holder or wallmounted storage solution to keep it organised and out of the way.
