How can I quickly and efficiently iron a coat at home?

If it is suede, velor or leather, you need to act in accordance with the specifics of the raw material. But most often this garment is made of natural wool, which greatly simplifies the exposure process, most importantly, do not forget about the important nuances and additional manipulations.

Recommendations on preparing material for ironing and specific points of the process

At home, caring for such capricious items as a coat can be a lot of trouble. Most problems specific to the ironing phase can be prevented if the following recommendations are followed:

  1. When washing a product, you do not need to rub it; it is better to gently knead the fabric with your hands, turning it into a basin. For machine wash, a wash bag must be used to prevent the formation of deep wrinkles.
  2. It is impossible to twist and squeeze a coat. It’s better to just hang it up to make the glass liquid yourself.
  3. The ironing process can be greatly simplified if you use an air conditioner during washing. In manual processing, it can be a hair conditioning agent.
  4. Many housewives make the same mistake in the process of ironing a woolen coat - they set the temperature too high. This will not speed up the process of smoothing wrinkles, but will increase the risk of tanning. To obtain the optimal result, you need to use a special mode or indicator not higher than 100ºС.
  5. Before stroking a coat, it needs to be dried, but not completely dried. It is almost impossible to smooth wrinkles on completely dry wool.
  6. After completing ironing, the product should lie down a bit until completely cooled. Only then can it be hung on the shoulders or put on.

If during the ironing process or after it there are slight contaminants on the surface of the material, do not completely repeat the entire processing cycle of the garment. It is better to choose a suitable stain remover and conduct local cleaning.

Wool Coat Ironing Technology

It’s not difficult to stroke a coat of wool, the main thing is to strictly follow the sequence of manipulations and not experiment in the process:

pouring water into an iron

  • Processing begins from the wrong side. If the product is thin and wet enough, then similar ironing may be enough to restore the ideal relief of the fabric.
  • To do this, you need to even the lining and the main material, turn out the pockets. Iron all the elements well, return them to their original position and process them again. Then we pass on to the sleeves and also process them, turning them on the wrong side.

Tip: In order to give the material the desired look without consequences, it is necessary to stock up on paper napkins or products for cleaning office equipment. Even before starting work or already in the process of ironing, they must be used to clean the sole of the iron, this will significantly reduce the risk of tan marks on the wool.

  • We pay special attention to seams. If you do not iron out the matter in these areas, the final result will be far from ideal.
  • The lapels and collar must be steamed. In extreme cases, wet gauze is used for this.
  • After preliminary processing, we evaluate the appearance of the coat and, if necessary, repeat all the same manipulations on the front side. Here, a layer of wet gauze is used without fail.
  • We act in the following order: sleeves, back, lapels and shelves, collar and shoulders. In the end, you need to iron all the seams again with the iron nose.
  • During ironing, you need to move in only one direction. If the pile is long, then along its location, if it is short, then from bottom to top.
