Laugh all you want but it wasn’t till later on in my life that I learned how to iron when I bought the Black & Decker D2030 digital advantage iron. 

Before than, I just simply had never bought clothes that needed ironing.  That is until my career came along and suddenly I needed help.  Thankfully I have a friend who irons everything bed sheets, pyjamas, towels…..egads…everything!

First, she made me get rid of an old iron that was probably an antique and forced me to buy the ‘Decker D2030 iron.  Wow!  I have to admit that the D2030 iron makes a world of difference to ironing since the large bursts of steam help to knock out wrinkles quickly, which saves me time.

One big trick that I have learned is to never overdry clothes.  Remove them while damp and it will save you a whole mess of time.  If you can hang them up right away. Doing it this way makes less wrinkles and less ironing to deal with. Ha!

Check the clothing item’s tag to see what temperature the Black Decker D2030 iron should be set at.  Using slow steady strokes, never stopping, iron lengthwise.  The more steam you have the better, the D2030 iron delivers wonderful bursts of steam.

My friend was starled when she saw me using the D2030 in circular motions!  She surprised me when she explained to me that circular motions mess with the fabric and stretch it.

Pants, collars, cuffs and heavy clothes should all be ironed inside out, then turned back to iron the front side.  

Hang everything after ironing with the D2030 iron to avoid creating any wrinkles afterwards.  Better yet, if the shirt has a button, close the top button to keep shirt shoulders from slipping on the hanger.

Iron in you bedroom close to the closet where you will be soring ironed items.  Plus, you can use the under-the-bed for storage as well (if you are tight for space).

To make ironing with the Black Decker D2030 iron even more effective, place tin foil under your ironing board cushion. You’ll be shocked how the reflected heat saves you a bit of extra time.
