Summer Garment Revival: Essential Ironing Guide for Hot Weather
During scorching summers, delicate fabrics wrinkle easily yet fear high heat damage. Professional housekeeping data reveals a 45% surge in fabric damage from improper ironing during hot months. Master these techniques for wrinkle-free outfits:
① Fabric-First Approach
- Silk/Chiffon: Use low heat (≤110°C) with a protective white cotton cloth
- Cotton/Linen: Apply medium-high heat (150-180°C) with steam
- Synthetic Blends: Iron inside-out to prevent hardening
② Pre-Treatment Hacks
- Spray sweat-stained areas with lemon-water mix (1:10 ratio), wait 5 minutes before ironing
- Hang creased clothes in steamy bathrooms for natural wrinkle release
③ Steamer Emergency Fixes
- Glide vertical steamer strokes upward, focusing on cuffs/collars
- Choose travel steamers with brush attachments for dust removal
④ Wrinkle-Proof Storage
- Let cooled clothes hang on bamboo fiber hangers
- Place lavender sachets between cotton sheets in vacuum bags
