A Pressing Cloth. Your Best Friend At Your Ironing Board.

Do you ever reach for a tea towel? Or a handkerchief? To put over a garment to stop you from scorching or burning it?

A pressing cloth is a better option. Because. It has no hems. Is much bigger than a handkerchief.

And much better than a tea towel. Because it's never been in your kitchen. Wiping dishes that may not be super clean. And pots that might still have some grease left on them.

Also. Hems. Leave marks on garments. From the pressure of a hot iron.

Why Use A Pressing Cloth?

Because scorching and burning clothes is very easy to do when you’re ironing. Set your iron a little too high and your delicate and synthetic fabrics melt and crinkle in an instant. You can scorch a cotton shirt by wetting it too much and leaving the iron on your wet shirt a few seconds too long.

Logos on your T-shirts are notorious for melting under the heat of your iron. And are saved by laying a pressing cloth over them.

Men use pressing cloths on their suits. Because suit fabrics tend to shine when they come into direct contact with an iron.

I have a silk blouse that I love wearing. Silk is notorious for wrinkling when washed. It requires a low iron setting. Which is inadequate for removing wrinkles. So I lightly mist the fabric. Put a pressing cloth over it. And iron my blouse on a cotton setting. Without destroying the silk.

A pressing cloth is such a simple solution.

How To Use A Pressing Cloth.

You lay the cloth over whatever you’re ironing and press as normal. Retaining your high heat setting. The pressing cloth allows heat and steam through but protects against scorching and burning.

So you get a crisper finish and you don’t waste time waiting for your iron to adjust the temperature.

What Fabric Makes The Best Pressing Cloth?

Lightweight calico and homespun are best.

I don't recommend mesh pressing cloths because the mesh is raised. And actually prevents your iron from coming into contact with what's underneath. So you can't produce the perfect crisp finish you want when you iron.
