FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this pressing cloth?
The primary purpose is to protect delicate and printed fabrics from direct, excessive heat from an iron, preventing scorch marks, melting, or damage to prints.
What materials can I use this pressing cloth with?
It is suitable for a wide range of materials including silk, synthetics, cotton blends, fabrics with prints, and any delicate material that requires extra heat protection.
How do I clean the pressing cloth?
Hand wash with mild detergent in cool water. Avoid wringing forcefully and allow it to air dry completely, preferably laid flat.
Can I use steam with this pressing cloth?
Yes, you can use steam, but be mindful of excessive moisture. Ensure the cloth is adequately aired out after use to prevent dampness in stored fabrics.
What are the dimensions of the pressing cloth?
The pressing cloth measures 45 x 50 cm.
Will this cloth protect against very high iron temperatures?
It provides significant protection, but for extremely high temperatures, it's still advisable to use a lower heat setting on your iron and keep the iron moving to avoid overheating the cloth itself.
Is this cloth suitable for iron-on transfers?
Yes, it is excellent for use with iron-on transfers and appliqués, protecting the surrounding fabric and preventing adhesive from sticking to your iron.
Troubleshooting
Fabric still shows signs of heat damage.
Ensure the pressing cloth is placed directly over the fabric and covers it completely. Try lowering your iron's heat setting or reducing ironing time in one spot. Check that the cloth itself is not damaged or worn out.
Pressing cloth feels excessively damp after ironing.
This can happen if steam is used excessively or if the fabric is already quite damp. Ensure the cloth is fully air-dried before storing. Consider using a lower steam setting on your iron.
Scorch marks appearing on the pressing cloth.
The iron may be too hot, or it was held in one place for too long. Reduce the iron's temperature and move the iron consistently across the pressing cloth. If scorch marks are severe, the cloth may need to be replaced.
