Do you know how a steam iron works?
Turn on the steam switch, the water stored in the steam iron will flow to the high-temperature ironing board, and the water will turn into steam when heated. At this time, steam will be ejected from the hole. Because the holes are left as needed, they can only be sprayed out from the designed holes, which will achieve the purpose of ironing clothes and protecting them from being scalded. Pay special attention to ironing high-grade clothes. It's best to iron clothes and wear them upside down, so as not to burn them carelessly. Let clothes dry naturally in the shade, which is conducive to protecting high-grade clothes! For beginners, you may not know how to use a steam iron. We can often see steam irons burning on clothes for a long time on TV. So how do you use a steam iron?
Correct use of steam electric iron
1, read the instructions first when using the electric iron.
First of all, the instructions are more careful, whether domestic or imported; There are requirements for voltage abroad, depending on whether the iron voltage matches.
Step 2 plug in the power supply
First turn off the steam button, then gently lift the iron, and slowly inject tap water from the water injection port with the equipped measuring cup; If you want to better maintain the steam electric iron, it is best to use softened water after boiling and cooling to prevent scaling.
Step 3 start ironing
The button of the steam electric iron is almost the same as that of the temperature-regulating electric iron, except that there is a "steam" clothing logo. The "steam" clothing sign indicates that the temperature is between wool and cotton, and the indicator light will light up immediately. The indicator light goes out, indicating that the temperature has reached the set temperature. If water has been added to the iron, push the steam button forward slightly to reset the steam button, so that steam can be continuously ejected from the small holes in the soleplate and ironing can be carried out. This is steam ironing! Several hours of ironing; Close the steam button and lock it backwards, and the steam injection hole under the bottom plate will stop spraying steam.
4. After ironing.
After ironing, turn off the steam button and pour out the remaining water. Then, turn the temperature knob to high-grade power for heating, turn off the power supply after all the internal moisture evaporates, then turn the temperature knob to the lowest position, cool it, wrap it up and put it in a dry place. After the steam electric iron is used for a period of time, if white powder appears in the water spray hole under the soleplate, white vinegar and water can be injected into the iron water tank in half, heated for about 10 minutes, so that the iron can shake and clean all parts, then the water vinegar solution is poured out, rinsed with clear water several times next time, and ironed again.
Let's talk about the specific method of ironing clothes with steam electric iron.
How to iron shirts:
1. It is recommended that you do not wring water when washing shirts, but dry them with water.
2. Read the instructions on the label before ironing the shirt, and pay attention to the fabric material and ironing temperature.
3. Plug in the iron power supply and set the iron temperature according to the ironing temperature and fabric on the label. Shirts with 100% cotton and 100% hemp can be used at high temperature, shirts with wool and cotton can be used at medium temperature, and shirts with polyester, viscose, nylon, silk, ester acid and acrylic can be used at low temperature.
If you iron cotton and linen shirts with steam, it is best to use distilled water.
5. Ironing should be done from top to bottom. Collar: hot from the outer ends of both sides to the middle; Sleeves: ironing from the bottom of sleeves to shoulders; Body: iron the front first, then the back.
6. First iron the collar; Straighten the collar with the inside facing outwards, hold the collar end in one hand and the iron in the other, and iron it out from the bottom of the collar to the upper end.

7. deal with shoulders; Stand up the collar first, then flatten the shoulder of the shirt to the back collar shoulder (that is, the transverse seam of the back) and press it out from the bottom of the collar with an iron. Don't press the iron too hard and move it.
8. Ironing the front; Both inside and outside need a perm. On the buttonhole side, iron the front part from top to bottom, then pick up the iron and iron it again from the sleeve to the buttonhole direction, and finally turn it over and iron it again. Remember to straighten clothes with one hand and iron them with the other to achieve fast and good results.

10, the last sleeve; First align the seams of the sleeves in pairs, and then iron the cuffs with the first half of the iron. Because most of the current positions will be lined with two layers of cloth, we can increase the intensity slightly. Then arrange the hem of the sleeve with iron tip, and finally iron the whole sleeve.
How to iron pants:

Pants are worn for a long time, and a big drum is often pushed up at the knee. For this kind of deformed trousers, it is best to use an electric steam iron. First, iron the back half of the trousers. When ironing, straighten the back half of the trousers by hand, and stretch out the wrinkles for ironing until the back half of the trousers returns to its natural state. Then iron the front half of the trousers. When ironing clothes, because the first half of the knee is bulging, if you straighten your pants, the first half will wrinkle your fingers. At this time, the pants should be ironed from top to bottom. First, put the iron gently on the trousers, press the steam switch, and let the wrinkled part naturally retract under the heat of the iron. The same method applies to the knee. When the big drum bag becomes a small drum bag, continue to adopt the above method, and repeat it to completely restore it to its original state, and finally iron the whole trousers again.
2, suit pants ironing:
When ironing pants, straighten them first. The first step is to turn the trousers upside down, straighten the trouser pockets inside, and then put them back in front to start ironing the trousers. When ironing pants, you can't iron them directly. You should put a thin cloth on them. The original soup order of pants is:
(1) Ironing the front of trousers waist: sew the left back waist and the left front waist (straighten the small trousers line, and the length of the small trousers line is flush with the lower opening of the handbag) and the right back waist (the back pocket should be flush, and the pocket cover cannot be stamped with buttons) (the same as the left front waist);

What are the advantages of using a steam iron?
The so-called steam iron is mainly named according to its principle. The steam iron mainly flows through the steam stored on the high temperature plate. When you turn on the steam switch, the water stored in the steam iron flows to the high-temperature ironing board, and the water is heated to become steam. At this time, steam is ejected from the hole. Because the holes are left as needed, they can only be sprayed out from the designed holes, which will achieve the purpose of ironing clothes and protecting them from being scalded.

2. Advantages of steam iron
The advantages of steam iron are many specifications, wide application range, light weight, fast heating and fast heat-off. However, it is not an ideal ironing tool because of some improvements compared with ordinary electric irons, but it still needs manual humidification.
Steam liquefaction releases a lot of heat to iron clothes, because the temperature will not exceed 100, so it will not burn clothes.
Because steam liquefaction will release heat, the steam ironing temperature of steam iron is higher, the flatness is better, and the sterilization effect can be improved. The fine water droplets formed can adsorb the dust in the fiber tissue inside the clothes.
1. There are two main types of steam irons: the heating of the chassis makes the water dripping on it generate steam because of heating. The utility model is more extensive and can be used for water spraying, dry ironing and steam ironing.
The chassis itself does not generate heat, but generates steam through a steam supply channel or a built-in small water heater.
Ironing has a higher safety factor for people and clothes, and almost all clothes can be ironed. Of course, to achieve this effect, we need some gadgets to help iron special parts such as shoulders, collars and sleeves. There is also a steam iron with built-in heating device, which is easy to drip out and soak clothes. It is not advisable to put too much water, and it is not advisable to turn and shake the iron at a large angle to solve the dripping problem when ironing.
Maintenance method of steam iron
1 A layer of coking substance is often attached to the soleplate of an electric iron, which should be removed in time, otherwise the ironing effect will be affected. It can be scrubbed with decontamination powder or cuttlefish bone dipped in water, and cannot be scraped with hard metal objects to avoid scratching the electroplating layer.
2. After ironing, remember that the electric iron is naturally cooled, and it is not allowed to be cooled with water.
3. If the water in the water glass box is turbid or there is white powder in the vent, inject half white vinegar and half water into the water tank, heat it for a few minutes and clean it. After washing, pour out the vinegar and wash it with clear water several times.
4. When not in use, point the steam button and steam injection button to the "off" position to avoid deformation of the spring.
5. Pour off the water after each use of the steam iron and wipe the bottom plate clean. If the hole in the bottom plate is blocked, pick it up with a toothpick.
6. Never immerse the iron in water. In order to make the iron durable, use the "automatic cleaning" function at least once a month to remove the scale accumulated in the iron and store it until it is completely dry.
