Ironing Temperatures and Techniques for Different Fabrics

Laundry CareIroning

Ironing is an important part of garment care. The right temperature and technique can make clothes look neat and presentable. Different fabrics require different ironing temperatures; too high a temperature can damage the garment, while too low a temperature will not achieve the desired result. This guide will provide detailed information on ironing temperatures and techniques for various common fabrics to help you do a better job of ironing.

Before ironing, be sure to check the garment's care label to confirm whether it can be ironed and the recommended ironing temperature. If the label is missing or illegible, please refer to this guide or test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Warning

  • Please be careful when ironing! The soleplate of the iron is very hot, so do not touch it with your hands to avoid burns. Do not leave the iron unattended during ironing to avoid fire or other accidents. After ironing, be sure to turn off the iron and allow it to cool completely before storing it.
