If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing 

temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of 

synthetic fibres.
