20. Clean your iron regularly.

You've got your dress all ready for the party. It's freshly washed, now it just needs an iron. You turn on your iron and begin, only to find it leaving marks everywhere - what a nightmare!
This can often happen when we fail to maintain our iron. Irons, just like washing machines and other devices, should be cleaned regularly.

You can clean your iron using bicarbonate of soda, q-tips and other household items. Check out this tutorial by Real Simple to learn how.

Learn other ways Bicarbonate of Soda can be used to clean your home in Anushka's article.

19. Iron 100% cotton garments whilst still damp.

Items made from 100& cotton are much easier than other materials. That's not to say they are easy, however.

Cotton creases can be extremely hard to iron out. One way to help is to tackle them whilst they are still damp. The heat will create steam when it hits the water, helping creases to fall out.

18. Consider ironing large items on a table

If you have a very big item to iron, such as a bedsheet or a table cloth, consider using a table. Providing you line the table with towels beforehand to prevent burns, there's no risk.

Alternatively, place two chairs behind the iron and fold the large item carefully onto these as you go. This will prevent it from dragging on the floor and keep it looking nice and crisp.

17. Don't iron dirty clothes.

When we throw clothes in the wash without removing stains, they're unlikely to come out.
The same goes for ironing - if you iron a garment that's unclean/spoiled, the heat will make the stain permanent.

This is easy to avoid, just make sure your clothes are all nice and clean before you start.

16. Iron down the centre of blouse sleeves.

A nice, crisp line down the centre of a shirt sleeve looks sharp. Do the same with a blouse, however, and the result is strange.

To avoid these stiff-looking folds, iron down the centre of the sleeve as opposed to along the seam.

15. Line your ironing board with aluminum foil.

All these tips will certainly help you to cut your ironing time down. Here's another cracker: line your ironing board with aluminum foil.

As aluminum foil is a heat conductor, the heat from the iron will mean the foil 'irons' the other side of the garment when you pass over it. This removes the need for ironing on both sides and gets great results - try it!.

14. Iron in order from cool to hot

Before you begin ironing, take a few minutes to organize your items. Separate your items into different types: delicate, medium and durable.

Start with the delicates at a low temperature, and work your way up to the more durable garments and a hotter iron.

As irons take a while to cool down, this is the most reliable way to ensure no damage is caused to your clothing.

13. Iron in a well-lit room

Spending an hour ironing in the living room only to find your clothes still looking creased when you take them to your wardrobe is not ideal.

Attempting to iron in a poorly lit room can really hamper your efforts. It's often difficult to spot smaller creases, especially on lighter items.

Be sure to set up your ironing board in the best-lit room in the house. The processes will be quicker and easier, and you'll achieve better results.

12. Banish creases with a DIY ironing spray

Some creases need a bit more than a hot iron.
For those cases, a DIY spray made from equal parts white vinegar and water can be used. Mix it up in a spray bottle, and spritz it onto areas with particularly bad creases. They'll come straight out when you go over with your hot iron.

11. Hang up or fold your ironed items immediately

You've spent all that time ironing, don't make it go to waste.
Keep a selection of coat hangers nearby whilst ironing and you'll be able to hang garments up right away. For those items you aren't hanging, fold them on a flat surface immediately and put to one side.

This will prevent clothes from getting more creases before you put them away.

10. Iron on one side only

Everyday items actually don't need much ironing at all.
If your garment looks good after being ironed on only one side, don't bother with the other.
Not only will this save you time, but ironing may cause your clothes to look tired over time. Don't do more than you have to.
