Most of us still have ordinary curtains.

Here are the basic tips on how to smooth the tulle after washing in hot water.

• The temperature of the iron when ironing is set according to the type of fabric.
• It is best to start the process right after washing, if the machine-machine provides a strong push-up. If the washing was done manually, give the cloth a little time to dry. That is, you need to iron when the curtains are still wet, not waiting for them to dry out. Thus, the process will be easier. Especially this advice applies to curtains made of thick material.

Material types and classic ironing modes

There are some ironing features for different types of fabric. For example, curtains made of flax need to be ironed at maximum temperature. Thus the matter should be slightly damp.

For any other type of fabric, a more careful treatment is required:

• Polyester and viscose are ideal materials. They can stunningly decorate the interior of the room, while any pollution is washed off from them without unnecessary difficulties.

Important! The ironing temperature for viscose and polyester should not exceed 140 degrees.

• Silk and taffeta are not allowed to steam. These materials are ironed only from the inside.
• In most cases, the organza is not stroked. It is hung out to dry, not squeezing. Under the influence of its gravity, the material straightens itself. However, sometimes there are creases. To eliminate them, walk through the crevices with an iron at the lowest temperature, using a lining in the form of cheesecloth or tracing paper.
• Velvet is one of the most difficult to care material. It is necessary to iron it barely pressing an iron without resorting to steam.
• If you have embroidery on the curtains, you must moisten it and iron it from the wrong side.

Common errors

Perhaps the most common and common mistake is the wrong choice of temperature conditions.

Even on the cheapest iron there are several most necessary modes. Very often it happens that the tissue requires the lowest temperature. However, the person believes that this is not enough, thinking that the temperature regimes choose their "taste and color" and put the average. What is the result?- Matter is spoiled.

Important! Begin stroking the curtains from a small area down or on the wrong side. By no means from the middle of the material, as many have become accustomed to. Thus, if it is found that the iron leaves marks, on the wrong side they will not be visible. However, if the spots were left in the middle of the curtains, then the material would have to be thrown out.

The next mistake in the question of how to iron a tulle without an iron is to iron and steam the seams without a lining. In this case, there may be stains on the front side. To avoid them, try using a small piece of cardboard.
