Top Tips on How to Iron Your Family’s Laundry Fast

We all want to be able to glide through our chores and make short work of our housework, but there seems to be certain jobs you just can’t find a shortcut for. Ironing the family clothes is one of them, especially when you want to make sure that the kids look the part for school or a day out. Trying to rush your ironing leaves lots of wrinkles and creases unattended to, making the whole exercise self-defeating. The good news is we’re going to solve all of this.

Are there really faster ways to iron?

Yes, and the beauty of finding them is that you can now cruise through your household jobs without a worry in the world. Keep reading our exclusive newsletter, and we’ll show you how to tackle every size, create the perfect working area, and keep it safe around the little people.

Set up your working area

First things first, we need to make sure that you have the perfect space in which to work. We’re talking, of course, about making sure that you have a stable ironing board that provides you with a flat surface. Failing that, you may also want to work on a sideboard or other surface in your kitchen, if that’s what you feel more comfortable with.

Make it safe with children in the house

Keeping the iron out of the way of little hands is obviously a priority that no parent will forget, but we want to make sure nothing is missed. If you have a stable door on the kitchen or a stair gate that you can use to block off the laundry room from the rest of the house, then this would be ideal. The key is to make sure that they can’t get anywhere near the hot iron, especially if you find that you are called away to deal with something else in the house.

Work upwards through the temperatures

You’ve now laid everything out and set up your working area; great job! Next up, you need to think about how you’re going to do things to really maximise efficiency. The key point is that it takes much longer for an iron to cool down than it does for it to heat up. This is why once you have filled it up with distilled water, you want to put it on its lowest temperature setting and start from there.

Sort by fabric types: cotton, linen, denim, etc…

This point leads on naturally from the last, allowing you to glide through your laundry pile in no time at all. A little planning and preparation at this stage will make all the difference when you want to be able to make the ironing look easy. By knowing what you’re dealing with, you can systematically adjust the temperature setting on the iron as and when you need to. There is, however, one small catch that we would really recommend you pay attention to in the following point.

Always read the label, even after sorting

A quick double-check of the label will make sure you don’t accidentally apply too much heat to a delicate garment or piece of attire. It will also focus your attention on the more delicate elements that some pieces of clothing have, such as screenprinted detailing and embroidered sections. Even when you have taken the time to sort your clothing into piles, it’s always a sensible move to check the label before ironing, just in case there is additional information you need to be aware of.

Automatic device can do all sizes

One of the issues that many parents and guardians encounter when ironing the family laundry is the wide range of sizes. If you’re looking for a smart addition to your ironing system. Ironele automatic ironing device will allow you to take care of virtually any size from XS to XXXL with the press of a button. Because it inflates to fit the size of the shirt, you can make short work of getting the family ready for a meal out or day trip when you all want to look your best.

The iron’s tip is useful for small items

Last but by no means least, make sure you pay particular attention when ironing smaller items worn by the little people. Flipping clothing inside out to protect graphics and using the iron’s accurate tip to do collars and navigate around poppers and buttons is something that will make all the difference. Just what you want to hear when you’re looking to glide through one of the most time-consuming chores in the house as if you are on autopilot.

Now that you’ve heard everything we have to say, it’s over to you to make the housework look easy. Make sure to hang each item up straightaway to avoid re-wrinkling the fabric and undoing all of your hard work. And don’t forget, our automatic ironing machine is the smart way to make tackling virtually every size as simple and stress-free as it always should be.
