SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS --

USING PRESS CLOTH:

a.

Placing a press cloth ( a piece of clean fabric) between the fabric and the Pressing Plate may be desirable, especially for more delicate fabrics.

OLDER STYLE BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS:

b.

While most modern buttons and zippers require no special attention, some older types may be heat sensitive. Take care with items that could 

melt. Lower the heat or steam settings, place the items FACE DOWN on the ironing board, and cover the fabric with a press cloth BEFORE 
pressing. This will help protect delicate accessories and fasteners.

SPRAY BOTTLE METHOD:

c.

Using a Spray Bottle, lightly spray the garment before placing it on the Ironing Board.  This helps to distribute an even, fine mist over the fabric, 

preparing it to be pressed, and removing all wrinkles.

DAMP CLOTH METHOD:

d.

For the most stubborn or heavy gauge fabrics, place a damp cloth over the area to be pressed. Press the garment normally for a few seconds, then 
raise the Pressing Plate and allow the steam to escape.  Repeat the procedure until the fabric is dry.
