Intro to Pressing / Ironing

Steam Irons with Boiler This is exactly the same as the above steam iron, the only difference is that A boiler can provide steam a whole lot faster because it has a boiler full of high pressure steam and superheated water which will flash into steam as the pressure drops. A boiler in fact is just a water reservoir.

The irons are available in different shapes and weights:

• Narrow hand irons are used for seam opening on sleeves and trouser legs. The wrinkle marks on the garment are evaded by the narrow sole construction of the steam iron as well as curved and narrow ironing bucks. Teflon-coated soles should be used for ironing fabrics that are sensitive to luster • Wide ones for flat shapes • Pointed shape
