The iron leaves a shine or an imprint on the garment. | The surface to be ironed was uneven, for instance because you ironed over a seam or a fold in the garment. | The iron is safe to use on all ironable garments. The shine or imprint is not permanent and disappears when you wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or folds. You can also place a cotton cloth over the area to be ironed to avoid imprints. |
