Intro to Pressing / Ironing

Ironing vacuum + Blowing table:

These are used in combinations with our boiler ironing systems.

A vacuum + blowing table is useful in two key ways. One, the most effective pressing is done by pulling the steam through the layers. Second, blowing up (via a readily accessible switch) reduces seam imprinting by the iron. Vacuum In fact, getting the steam out of the fabric is so important, that before the age of vacuum tables, professional ironers used to take a piece of wood and literally whack the steam out of the fabric. As for the blowing part, some fabric, like corduroy and velvet – literally anything with a nap – doesn't respond well when pressed hard, so by floating the fabric on a layer of air, we can steam out the wrinkles without harming the nap.
