The solution for wrinkle free wedding and evening dresses
Wedding dresses or evening dresses are not easy to iron because nowadays they are made of many different fabrics that are not always easy to iron. In this blog you will learn how to iron clothes properly.
Which iron is best?
We recommend the use of steam straighteners or steam ironing stations. Unlike classic irons, these are particularly suitable for sensitive materials such as satin, tulle or lace. In addition, they are much easier to handle and offer more protection against burn marks.
When ironing with steam irons or steam stations, the dress is not subjected to high temperatures as with a conventional iron. The risk of damage or burn marks is thus minimized.
However, you should make sure that you don't iron on the same spot for too long.
Advantages of a steam station:
- More powerful steam output
- Constant amount of steam
- Increased burst of steam
- Gentle on hands as the water tank is separate
- Large water tank
- Usable for all fabric types
- Ideal for larger quantities
- Perfect for the home
Disadvantages of a steam station:
- More expensive than portable steamers
- Not ideal for on the go
Advantages of a steamer:
- Suitable for all fabrics
- Especially handy and easy to use
- Accessories available (varies by model)
- Ideal for on the go
- Perfect for travel
- Cheap upfront cost
Disadvantages compared to the steam station:
- Lower steam output
- Varying amount of steam
- Tends to form more drops if the amount of steam is too high
- Water tank is not separate
- Small water tank
How do you iron evening dresses?
Please ensure that the device is lime-free and cleaned before ironing. There should also be no water droplets on the iron.
After filling the water tank, the steamer needs a few minutes to reach the right temperature. After the temperature has been reached, you can start.
Hang the dress on a free-standing clothes rack, curtain or on the door.
Always run the steamer over the bridal / evening dress from the inside out. The hot steam that comes out of the nozzles moistens the fabric for a short moment so that creases are removed quickly and easily. In addition, bacteria and odors on the dress are removed by ironing with steam. However, you should make sure that you don't iron on the same spot for too long in order to avoid high temperatures and the resulting damage.
IMPORTANT! Only iron from the inside out so as not to damage the shine of e.g. satin.
