We have now sold over 400 million irons worldwide, tackled creases and wrinkles for over 174 billion hours, therefore every 2.5 seconds someone in the world choses a Philips iron.

Tips and tricks

for keeping your garments looking their best

  • If you are ironing clothing with stickers and prints, just iron them on the opposite side and place another piece of material on top for extra protection.
  • When ironing linen and cotton dresses or shirts, after washing let them dry on a hanger to limit the amount of creases. A slightly damp garment can also make it easier.
  • Do not hang sweaters: they are too heavy for hanging and the shoulders get stretched and distorted. Rather fold them easier.
  • No wire hangers! Hangers that the dry-cleaner sends you home with should be thrown away. Invest in wooden hangers that help clothes retain their shape.
  • To prevent shine/print on your clothes, avoid ironing over uneven surfaces or use a piece of cotton over the surface during ironing.
  • When hanging trousers it's worth investing in clip hangers' to hang them by the waist and clip them in a discreet spot that won't show when worn. You will also retain the trousers perfectly ironed crease!
