• Iron. It is more preferable to iron the iron with the steaming function, although today almost all models are equipped with this option.
• Ironing board. We recommend using an ironing board with a narrow nozzle, which will help to iron the three-dimensional details.
• Thin cotton fabric( gauze).

Before the ironing procedure, it is necessary to carry out the preparatory work with the product itself:
