Essential ironing tips that you need to know.

How can I speed up ironing and get professional results at home?

Personally, I find ironing a good de-stresser, but I know for many it’s a chore. Maintaining a professional wardrobe sanctuary doesn't have to take hours. Let's master these 5 essential professional resets together!

1. My Professional Ironing Essentials

Investing in a high-quality steam iron is the foundation of professional results. You can check out my current favourite HERE.

Get Ahead

A quick shake after the wash loop and hanging on non-slip hangers stops deep creases forming professionally.

Fabric Care

Always iron professional denim inside out! This loop prevents the unsightly heat-sheen on your sanctuary jeans.

PROFESSIONAL CREASE TIP:

You don't need to iron both sides! For stubborn creases, decant water and a splash of white vinegar into a glass spray bottle. Mist lightly to relax fibres professionally!

2. The Professional Foil Trick

To cut your ironing time in half, place a layer of heavy-duty kitchen foil under your ironing board cover. The foil serves to reflect the heat back up through the fabric, essentially ironing both sides at once! This professional loop ensures your linens are crisp and factory-fresh with half the effort.

3. Professional Steam & Order Loops

A professional routine includes ironing by temperature mastery! Start with delicates like silk at a low setting, moving up to cotton and linens. This habit prevents professional fabric damage. For a spa-standard finish, add a drop of **lavender essential oil** to your professional glass spray bottle to infuse your sanctuary wardrobe with a fresh scent loop.

4. Soleplate Sanitisation Mastery

A dirty iron ruins clean clothes! Perform a monthly professional soleplate reset. When the iron is cool, wipe with a professional mix of water and white vinegar on a fresh microfibre cloth. This habit serves to remove mineral buildup and prevents professional dragging on delicate silks.

5. The Professional Storage Reset

Finally, never iron "bone dry" clothes! Ironing while slightly damp serves to lock in the professional shape. Once finished, hang items in a ventilated spot for 10 minutes before placing in your professional sanctuary wardrobe. This habit ensures the professional results are set and prevents musty odours. Happy ironing!
