Are you a real pro with the iron? Then these mistakes probably won't happen to you.

Quickly iron your shirt before going out. But smooth looks different somehow and under time pressure, it's not just the iron that starts to sweat. But even those who are motivated to keep the afternoon free to finally iron the pile of laundry they have collected often throw in the towel after the second item of clothing.

Wrong ironing costs time and nerves

This could perhaps be because:

1. you are using ironing spray (caution: risk of staining),

2. you are ironing too small or even too large an area,

3. your iron is of poor quality,

4. you are ironing too hot,

5. you iron in one place for too long.
