Sorting Laundry for Ironing

Video Transcript

"Today we are talking about all things to do with ironing. And I am going to share some secret tips with you. So let's talk a little bit about sorting your clothes. Now sorting your clothes in the beginning actually saves you time in the long run. And how I know what to iron first is actually the dial helps me out. Things like silks, they are going to be the things I do first. The last thing I do our cottons, our wools. Really heavy things. Why I do this is because by the time I am done with my silk that doesn't need much heat the iron will be warmed up and ready for something like a heavy wool or a corduroy. For example I have this cute little number. Cute isn't it. And I read the tag. Make sure to always read your tags. Ok silk, so this won't take any heat at all. I mean just a little bit of heat. Be very careful with your delicates. You can see I could burn through that very easily. So you want to make sure your iron is on the lowest. Here I have number one. So you want it on the lowest, you don't want to have maybe knocked it over to the highest. Check that iron. Make sure it is on a lower temp. There we go, start with that. And then I move on to a more Poly-blend something that is a little bit more durable. It is still not like that heavy wool. But it will take about a medium, a medium to get through and get the wrinkles out of this one. Again you don't want to over heat. Because the last thing you want to do is have a burn mark on something you love. So there you go. And the last one that I will show is this corduroy. This is a very heavy fabric; it takes a lot of steam and a lot of heat to get this done. So by the time you are done with these you will be ready to move onto your corduroy. Ok, now I am going to go ahead and sort the rest of these and we are going to get ironing."
