The most awaited day of all has arrived: ironing day. When it arrives, there’s no use running away. The best is to face the challenge.

Everyone likes a trick that makes life easier as if by magic, don’t you?

So take note of these tips:

• Dark pieces, especially black ones, should be ironed inside out so they don’t create shine or lose color;
• Use aluminum foil between the board liner and the board. This tip helps to maintain the temperature of the iron, making it easier to iron more difficult clothes, such as linen.
• A mixture of water and vinegar in a spray bottle is perfect to help smooth the fabric and make the iron glide better.
• Bed and bath linens, such as sheets and towels, should be ironed on larger surfaces. For this, the tip is to use the dining table. But first, cover it with a blanket or other thick fabric.
