What mistakes does every second housewife make when ironing curtains: it wouldn’t hurt to find out
Ironing curtains, which are straight fabrics, should not cause any particular difficulties.
However, sometimes even in such a simple process mistakes are made, especially by young housewives.
We will list the most common of them in this article.
1. Perhaps the most common incorrect method is using the wrong temperature setting. An iron that is too hot can burn the fabric, and if it is not heated enough, all the folds will remain in place.
2. In addition, it would be a mistake to think that you can start ironing curtains only after they are completely dry. On the contrary, slightly damp fabric is much easier to iron.
3. Another mistake is ironing the seams from the front side. Remember: these areas should be ironed only from the back, and, in addition, by laying gauze or other natural fabric on them. Do not press hard on the iron.
4. If you are dealing with natural fabrics such as cotton or linen, do not ignore steaming, otherwise you cannot call the ironing high-quality.
5. Finally, do not rush to grab the iron without reading the recommendations on the product label. It is quite possible that the item cannot be ironed at all and you will ruin it irreparably.
