Always check the clothing care labels on your garments when you iron laundry. Using a setting that's too high won't just ruin your clothes, the garment may stick to the sole plate of your iron and ruin that too.

Always press with the grain of the fabric to prevent it from stretching.

The ironing board should be at hip level to prevent back strain. Choose an ironing board with adjustable height options so you won't have to bend over.

Wash bright colors and lightly soiled fabrics in cold water to minimize washer wrinkling.

Don't overload the dryer, as it prevents clothes from tumbling properly and causes more wrinkles. Don't over dry clothes, as excessive heat can set wrinkles.
