Ironing and hot pressing are techniques for wrinkle removal, distinguished by their approach and objective:
Ironing:
This entails the continuous movement of the iron across the fabric to eliminate wrinkles, serving as a rapid method for daily wrinkle management.
Example: Ironing a cotton shirt.
Hot Pressing:
This involves placing the iron or pressing machine stationary on the fabric under pressure for an extended period to establish distinct pleats or enduring folds.
Example: Creating pleats or sharp creases on trousers.
Two key distinctions:
Ironing
Hot Pressing
The iron is moved continuously across the fabric.
The iron or press remains stationary on the fabric under pressure.
