A clothing iron, also called a flatiron, is a heated surface used to remove wrinkles from fabric. Irons typically used in the home can be heated between 250 degrees Fahrenheit and 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Clothes irons are named for the metal of which the device is commonly made. | |
When ironing some fabrics, such as cotton, it is necessary to use steam to loosen the molecular chains. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, many fabrics are marketed as never needing to be ironed. | |
- | Modern irons may include a range of features. Some feature a design that allows the user to set the iron down standing on its end. Some include a thermostat that maintains the iron at a set temperature. Models with steam injectors and water reservoirs are also available. |

1300 historical examples of irons are housed in Karlsruhe, Germany, in one of the world’s largest collections of irons. | |

+ | Modern irons include many features, but some are typically found in most irons today. One common feature is a design that allows the user to set the iron down standing on its end. Other features include a thermostat that maintains a set temperature, a temperature control dial for various fabrics, and a heat-resistant electrical cord with silicone rubber insulation. Many contain steam injectors with water reservoirs and a retractable cord too. |
+ | |
+ | There are advanced features that are less common such as non-stick coating along the sole plate, energy-saving auto shut-off, a vertical steam feature, anti-scale to help remove limescale, and a self-cleaning feature. |
+ | |
+ | Generally, traditional clothing irons are triangular and have a flat surface on one side (sole plate) and a handle. The form allows the user to press the iron onto the fabric or clothing and distribute the heated surface evenly to remove wrinkles. |
