How to stroke the tulle?

Household chores are time consuming. And sometimes it even happens that the elementary task causes additional difficulties, for example, ironing tulle. This material is very thin and requires a special approach.

Although for each type of fabric there are special conditions for ironing, there are those that need to be considered regardless of the type and density of tulle.

If the finished product was purchased, then on the label must be indicated temperature conditions and conditions for the care of the product. You should carefully study them and adhere to all points.

Before you turn on the iron in the network, you need to check the status of the sole - it must be clean. Black spots are burnt particles. If you start ironing with such an iron, they will ruin the thin fabric: black prints may appear on it, or the iron will completely burn it.

Need to determine which fiber is made of tulle - it can be synthetic, silk, cotton, polyester and other materials. On most irons there is a special program for each type of fabric - that’s what you should choose. If the temperature is set manually, then you need to select a value not higher than 120 degrees.

You should not hurry or, on the contrary, to linger for a long time in one area (to keep the iron in a stationary state) - this will lead to the fact that the canvas will be ironed unevenly. You should choose your pace and stick to it.

Like any other fabric, tulle must be ironed on the wrong side. To prevent damage to the fabric, wet gauze should be used as a pad between the iron and the tulle. If there is a special pad for the iron, then you definitely need to attach it to the sole, because it is used precisely for these purposes.

Despite the advice of manufacturers to iron only completely dried fabric, this approach does not always give the desired results. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait for its complete drying. Debris resulting from drying will be difficult to smooth out even with a jet of steam.

The seams are ironed exclusively from the reverse side. At the same time it is necessary to ensure that the pressure is not strong. In this case, traces of stitches may appear on the front side.

In some cases, you can do without ironing. It is very convenient, as it saves time and effort. Here are just a washing machine here will not be an assistant.

This method works well with fairly heavy fabrics (made from cotton, silk) and a veil. To achieve the absence of folds on the organza will be almost impossible, since this material is very capricious.

Below is a step-by-step process of washing and hanging tulle.

• In a large basin you need to pour water, dissolve the detergent (or detergent used for washing) in it. If there is no large capacity, then the bath itself will do. There should be no small grains of powder, as they can settle on the fabric.
• Then you need to soak the tulle for a few minutes and immediately wash. It is unacceptable that he lay for a long time, as creases may form. To smooth them naturally will not be possible.

• After that, you need to drain the soapy water or flush it, if the wash was carried out in the bathroom. Then rinse the fabric well. Pressing it is not necessary. You can wait a bit until the water flows naturally.
• It is advisable to immediately hang it on the eaves. Since it will be still quite wet, small puddles on the floor are possible. To prevent this, you need to enclose floor cloths or other unwanted cloth, for example, old sheets, diapers.

• The next step will be the distribution of tulle along the entire length of the cornice - you need to ensure that the sections of the canvas do not stick to each other. In this position, it should dry rather quickly and without wrinkles.

• If they are still formed in a small amount, then you can steam them off without removing them with a steamer or an iron with such a function - this is very convenient, especially in the case when the curtains are long and large.

This fabric attracts many housewives with its beauty. Translucent and light, it creates a feeling of weightlessness and lightness of space. But look after her is not easy at all.

Below are the rules that greatly facilitate ironing this "capricious" material.

1. The final stage of washing should be rinsing in lightly salted water. This will require approximately 1 tbsp. l with a slide on 5 l of water. In this way, the sticking of the iron to the thin sheet can be avoided.
2. Organza has a special type of weave. In order not to damage it, it is necessary to iron at minimum temperatures and through the tissue paper.
3. You should not dry the material folded in half - such creases will be very hard to smooth.
4. An ideal way to smooth out the folds would be using a steamer. For example, you can hang on the eaves of even not yet completely dried fabric and smooth it with the power of this device.
5. Organza manufacturers say that it should be steamed only in dry form. If this is not done, then glimpses on the fabric may form, and it will lose its attractive appearance.

One of the important conditions for successful ironing is the correct choice of the mode of pressing the fabric in a typewriter - it must be done at minimum speed.

As mentioned above, such a fabric can simply be hung directly on the window. It straightens well under its own weight. This is very convenient, especially if the canvas is large. If this method is not suitable for cotton curtains, you can use a regular iron. The temperature should not exceed 100 degrees.

It is necessary to lay the fabric face down on the board, put a wet gauze grid on top - this is the only way to be sure that the iron will not burn the thin curtain. But if there is a special nozzle on the sole of the iron, then you can do without gauze.

This type of fabric is made of artificial fiber.

In order not to damage it, it is necessary to take into account some recommendations of experienced hostesses.

1. You should not use a spray bottle to wet the parts of the web - after drying, the drops may leave stains.
2. It is necessary to iron nylon until it becomes dry. Step-by-step instructions on how to do this are described above.
3. If a person first strokes this fabric, then first you need to arrange a test for her. To do this, select a gentle mode and walk with a hot iron from the very edge. If everything is in order, and there are no undesirable consequences of such an aggressive effect left on it, then you can continue ironing the entire canvas.
4. Ironing is allowed only when using a special protective nozzle on the iron or wet gauze (you can also use another thin fabric).
5. Such a subtype of fabric, like viscose, is ironed exclusively from the seamy side.

Tulle ironing can be a pleasant and safe procedure for the fabric, if you follow simple requirements.Listening to the tips described above, you can permanently preserve the pristine beauty and quality of the material.
