Is it possible to iron with an iron without water? What does dry mode do?
A properly working iron is the first necessity in the home, because untidy clothes turn people off. Device malfunctions, water stains and other problems generally damage clothing beyond repair. One solution to the problem is to iron the items with an iron without water.
Is it possible to use an iron without water?
Modern irons include both steam and dry ironing modes. There is a special division for steamless ironing: scroll the wheel to the desired function or press a special button. Look for information on the device itself or in its instructions.
Sometimes old irons leak, and using the water mode gives an unexpected result: the item gets too wet, streaks appear, or the fabric becomes completely deformed. In this case, it is better to permanently disable the water mode. And for a new iron, it is better to alternate ironing functions to avoid overheating of the platform and its early failure.
Housewives often complain that things cannot be ironed without water vapor. But water from the iron can play a cruel joke: because of it, rusty stains appear on clothes. There is an alternative to this method: set the dry mode and use a spray bottle with clean water or place damp gauze on the product.
For some fabrics, moisturizing or steaming is generally contraindicated. Among them:
- viscose;
- some types of silk;
- chiffon;
- nylon;
- nylon;
- satin and other fabrics for lining.
Advice from the magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com: if the water supply function in the iron is broken, then try not to dry the items after washing and iron them slightly damp. This especially applies to thick cotton and linen.
Water in the iron: some tips for working
It is not always possible to empty the remaining water in the iron reservoir. Either look for the desired angle, or do the following:
- turn on the steaming mode;
- prepare an unnecessary piece of material;
- evaporate all the water.
Try not to pour raw or boiled tap water into the device to avoid unsightly rusty stains on clothes. Use filtered or special water.
Store the iron without water and fill the reservoir with fresh water before each use. If you neglect this rule, the device will quickly become clogged with lime and rust, begin to leak, or microorganisms will begin to develop in the water.
