Clothing Ironing Tips

RE: Clothing Ironing Tips By attilathehen. (Guest Post) I use deionised water in my iron because the water round here is so hard. I add a few drops of lavender oil to the water, shake it up well and then put it in my iron. I also use tap water with lavender oil in a spray bottle. You could use any essential oil, but I like lavender and it's the cheapest. Posted on 08/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse Easier way to fill a steam iron?

Posted on 07/09/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Clothing Ironing Tips By Sadiesnana (13) Contact I love to iron! I take some items out of the dryer a little before they are completely dry and then iron them with a little lavender water spray. The aroma is so very nice and does linger nicely on the clothing. It also makes the iron glide easily over the fabrics. Posted on 07/06/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse Ironing Spray By ThriftyFun (3117) Profile Blog! Contact I love mixing 1 part fabric softener to 5 parts water and spraying my laundry with it before ironing. It not only makes my clothes smell wonderful, but it makes pressing a snap and the items stay wrinkle free. I also use it to freshen my curtains and bedding and closets.

Turn cloth over and iron the other side. When both sides are complete, place cloth on the ironing board down the middle and press the middle crease. Makes table cloth ironing a LOT easier. Also, Magic Sizing comes in mighty handy and can be purchased at a Dollar store for guess what ... a dollar!

As you gradually replace your clothes get rid of any item that needs ironing and replace with items that don't. Line drying or hanging immediately when removing from dryer also cuts down on creasing and the necessity to iron - leaving washing in 'ironing baskets' lead to very creased clothes and produces more ironing! I have only 2 cotton shirts that need ironing and I usually don't bother ironing those if I'm not going anywhere special. My iron is used for sewing projects and my ironing board lives out in the back shed I use it so infrequently. Unless you need to look very smart for work or socialising ironing is a total waste of time and effort in my opinion. Give yourself permission to free yourself from this boring repetetive chore - unless you enjoy it of course!

Always handy. Reuse a detergent bottle (cleaned of all detergent traces) by filling it with water for filling your steam iron. By Syd Posted on 12/16/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
