Generally, people fall into two ironing categories: Those who love to iron, and those who hate to iron. People in the former category, well, you know who you are. For those in the latter category, here are some tips that may make ironing less of a hassle.

• Begin by sorting the articles to be ironed by fabric type.


• Iron articles requiring a low-temperature setting, such as silks or synthetics first, and gradually work up the temperature range as needed.


• If there are many articles to be ironed, consider breaking up the task into two or more smaller ironing sessions.
