Day 1: Steps/Procedure in Ironing Clothes, Linens, and Fabrics (Synchronous
Session)
Concept Notes:
General Procedure of Ironing
Step 1. Check if the clothing can be ironed. Look at the tags if they provide ironing instructions. If they do
not tell you on what setting to put your iron, look at the indicators that tell what material the fabric
is made of; some irons have setting based on types of material.
Step 2. Set up the ironing area. Use a sturdy table or ironing board.
Step 3. Fill the iron’s water reservoir if it has one. Make sure that you use filter water to avoid calcium
build-up in your iron, which could end up clogging the iron’s steam spouts.
Step 4. Set the iron on the appropriate setting and let it heat up.
Step 5. Lay your garment on the board. Make sure there are no wrinkles.
Step 6. Begin ironing. Do not let the iron sit still on the garment.
Step 7. Turn the clothing over and iron the other side.
Step 8. Hang the clothing on a hanger immediately to prevent wrinkling.

Reminder:
If you are ironing more than one item, begin with one that uses the lowest
setting on the iron.
Do you know that ironing is different from pressing? Ironing requires you to go over the entire
garment with long, smooth stokes, while pressing involves lifting and lowering motions just where there
are wrinkles. Hence, it is important to know the specific procedures on ironing different clothes.

Step 5 Once you are done ironing the back, work your way along each side by gradually rotating the
shirt to each side of the ironing board.
Step 6 For the sleeves, lay the shirt on the ironing board so that the sleeve you are
ironing is parallel to it.
