The coat has been one of the most popular types of outerwear for women and men for many years, but today, as well as many years ago, the housewives have issues related to the restoration of the shape of the product. Before you iron the coat, you need to set the type of material from which it is sewn.
If it is suede, velor or leather, you need to act in accordance with the specifics of the raw materials. But most often this garment is made from natural wool, which greatly simplifies the process of exposure, most importantly, do not forget about important nuances and additional manipulations.
Recommendations for preparation of material for ironing and specific moments of the process
At home, caring for such capricious objects as a coat can bring a lot of trouble. The emergence of most of the problems characteristic for the ironing step can be prevented if the following recommendations are observed:
- Wiping the product, do not rub it, it is better to gently squeeze the tissue with your hands, turning it into the pelvis. When machine washing is used, use a laundry bag that will prevent the formation of deep creases.
- You can not unscrew and squeeze the coat. It is better to simply hang it to the glass liquid yourself.
- The ironing process can be considerably simplified if you use the air conditioner during washing. When handled, this can be a means for conditioning hair.
- Many housewives make the same mistake in the process of ironing a wool coat - they set too high a temperature. This will not accelerate the process of smoothing the folds, but will increase the risk of the occurrence of scorching. To get the best result, you need to use a special mode or an indicator not higher than 100 ° C.
- Before you can pat your coat, it should be dried, but not completely dried. Smooth the folds on absolutely dry wool is almost impossible.
- After completing ironing, the product should lie slightly until it is completely cooled. Only after that it can be hung on hangers or put on.
If during the ironing or after it on the surface of the material showed a small contamination, do not completely repeat the whole cycle of processing the garment. It is better to choose a suitable stain remover and carry out local cleaning.
The technology of ironing a wool coat
It is not difficult to stroke a coat from a wool, the main thing is to strictly observe the sequence of manipulations and not to experiment while working:
- The processing starts from the wrong side. If the product is thin enough and damp, then such ironing can suffice to restore the ideal relief of the fabric.
- For this you need to level the lining and the main material, turn out the pockets. Well iron all the elements, return to the starting position and process again. Then go to the sleeves and also process them, turning out the wrong side.
Tip: In order to give the desired appearance to the material without any consequences, it is necessary to stock up with paper napkins or products for cleaning office equipment. Even before starting work or already in the process of ironing, they should be used to clean the soleplate of the iron, this will significantly reduce the risk of scorching on the wool.
- Special attention is paid to the seams. If you do not iron matter in these areas, the end result will be far from ideal.
- The lapel and collar must be stripped off. In extreme cases, wet gauze is used for this.
- After preliminary processing we estimate the appearance of the coat and, if necessary, repeat all the same manipulations on the front side. Here, an interlayer of wet gauze is necessarily used.
- We act in the following order: sleeves, back, lapels and shelves, collar and shoulders. In the end, you need to iron the iron again once again to iron all the seams.
- During ironing, you need to move only in one direction. If the pile is long, then in the course of its location, if short, it is from the bottom to the top.
After a few repetitions, all the nuances will become a habit and the process of wool restoration will not be of any complexity, especially if you strictly follow the instructions and follow the recommended sequence of actions.
