Ironing Made Easy

   Last Month I wrote about Laundries Drained Me. After those mountain of Laundries another thing to do is ironing. Here in the Philippines we just iron important clothes like: uniforms, pillow cases, and clothes. Whew! another battle to face.
   Worst thing I just found out that our iron isn't gonna work. Poor me! What shall I do. Good again here in the Philippines, "pwede manilingan" mean we can go to neighborhood and borrow iron. "thanks to my very close neighbor for lending me their iron.
    To make my load lighter I decided to surf for tips on how to make ironing easy.

 few important ironing tips:

• Use rainwater or distilled water in your iron's water reservoir as an ironing help tip to give your clothes a nicer feel.

  • You can cut your ironing time in half if you choose to cover your board with aluminum foil. It reflects the heat the iron produces, helping to heat the fibers of the garment on both sides.
