Regardless, it\u2019s a chore that needs to be done with care and patience because if done correctly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/top-ironing-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ironing<\/a> adds a smooth and cool look to your clothes. However, there are also ironing mistakes that need to be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are 4 common ironing mistakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Not Using Correct Temperature Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not checking the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/washing-at-the-right-temperature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">temperature<\/a> is one of the most common ironing mistakes. With the right setting and temperature, you\u2019ll get the clean results you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have made this ironing mistake, you\u2019ll know that choosing the incorrect temperature setting can ruin the smoothness of the fabric. Also, it can cause marks and burns on your clothes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always read the labels and iron for a good, smoother, and fresher result to save you time and stress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=1024%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Common ironing mistakes - checking temperature\" class=\"wp-image-9636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=1024%2C750&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=768%2C562&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=1200%2C878&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?resize=224%2C164&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ironing Dried Clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/hacks-for-drying-clothes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drying clothes<\/a> is part and parcel of cleaning clothes, but ironing dried clothes tends to be on the list of ironing mistakes. Dried clothes lack moisture and consequently, the wrinkles are far more stubborn when they are left on dry clothes, which could damage your fabrics in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not to say you should be ironing wet clothes but ideally, you should aim for damp clothes because they\u2019ll have enough moisture. Ironing damp clothes makes it easy to reshape and remove creases. Always spray water on dried clothes to dampen them for better results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=1024%2C650&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ironing shirt\" class=\"wp-image-9638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=1024%2C650&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=300%2C190&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=768%2C487&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=1200%2C761&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?resize=259%2C164&amp;ssl=1 259w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-shirt.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Not Cleaning Your Iron Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you think about ironing chores, it\u2019s easy to overlook your iron board\u2019s condition. Iron boards are no different to clothesline in your garden; if they\u2019re in good shape, your clothes will be in good shape. If you neglect cleaning duties for your iron board, chances are your clothes may catch some dust and dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We advise you to first store your iron board in a room with a lot of space and every month, clean and wipe it with a cloth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ironing board\" class=\"wp-image-9640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?resize=246%2C164&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ironing-board.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Not Managing Clothes Pile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to ironing, the organisation is the key to a fresher result. Managing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-cut-down-on-ironing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">big laundry pile<\/a> is the difference between good and bad ironing. Always make a habit of ironing the clothes with the lowest heat setting first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, heating the iron up is easier than cooling it down. The most common materials that need the lowest temperature are polyester and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/how-to-remove-stains-from-silk-clothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">silk<\/a>. Once you are done with this, change the settings on your iron to medium and high for the relevant materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=594%2C792&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"piling clothes\" class=\"wp-image-9642\" width=\"594\" height=\"792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=900%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?resize=123%2C164&amp;ssl=1 123w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shirts-4696379_1280.jpeg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironing mistakes are common and don\u2019t feel too disappointed if you have made these mistakes in the past.
