and 40% cotton" should be ironed at the
temperature indicated for polyester (

If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s)

will be invisible when wearing or using the
article to try out the ironing temperature.

increase to one which gives the required

by turning the article inside out and ironing
the inside.
• Velvet and other textures which rapidly
acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one
direction only (with the nap), applying only
light pressure.
Always keep the iron moving.
