How do you choose a good clothing iron?
One should consider these points while purchasing laundry irons.
· Type- Based on your preference, you should decide whether you want a dry (basic) iron or steam iron.
· Comfort- A garment iron should not feel heavy and should be easy to maneuver while pressing the garment.
· Features- Choose an iron based on the features you will require on a regular basis. For example, steam features are useful when pressing cotton and linen or if you want to not tamper with the dial, you may want to consider an iron with auto shut-off feature.
· Non-stick- Even though a laundry iron with a non-stick sole plate may cost a little more, but it is worth it. These tend to glide over your garment and not harm them in any way.
· Budget- Always consider buying a budget-friendly appliance.
