How to properly iron a medical cap?

Caring for a medical cap requires daily washing followed by ironing. It is important to carry out the last process correctly, otherwise the cap will not keep its perfect cylindrical shape, and the material can be damaged.

Tips for ironing a medical cap

First of all, you need to prepare a workplace, a high-quality iron and clean water.

Preparation of the board and iron:

1. If you use a board, it is necessary that it has a perfectly clean surface of dust and dirt. Ironing a medical cap is possible even without this standard accessory - it is allowed to use any flat surface covered with a clean, non-slip material. The material can be fixed with "English" pins.
2. The metal bottom of the iron should be perfectly flat, without soot and stains. If there is no spraying and steaming mode, use a sprayer.
3. Do not start the process until the iron is heated to the desired temperature.

Importance of water purity:

1. For ironing a medical cap, it is important to pour only purified or distilled water. The use of running water will lead to the formation of scale and will significantly reduce the service life of the device.
2. Check the cleanliness of the cap itself. If there is even a slight contamination on it, the high temperature of the steam promotes the spread of stains.

Location:

• it is most convenient to place the cap on the rounded edge of the board
• another option is to use an additional mini stand included in the set of ironing sets.

Precautions when ironing a medical cap

The main precautionary rule is to set the temperature regime on the iron that corresponds to a certain type of fabric.

They are usually marked with dots on the regulator:

• the first - for delicate fabrics (hot steam treatment is used)
• the second - cotton or mixtures based on it (steam is served with medium intensity)
• the third is used for products made of calico or on low-power irons.

A separate mode, without steam and water supply in the iron at all - for exclusive caps made of satin or silk.

Ironing a medical cap: additional tips

For convenience and simplification of the process, it is better to use the following recommendations.

1. To prevent the appearance of "creases" on the top of the cap, put another rolled material in it before taking up the iron.
2. It is possible to prevent the creation of shiny stripes when ironing a medical cap with an excessively hot iron only if the temperature regime is optimal
3. If you wish, you can iron the headdress so that instead of the classic perfect cylinder, you get a cap with neat arrows on the front and back.
