Iron on Medium Heat Symbol Guide
IroningSymbol: Iron Medium Temperature
The iron medium symbol is an iron icon with two dots inside it. The two dots indicate a maximum ironing temperature of around 150 degrees Celsius. This setting is suitable for fabrics like polyester, silk, wool, and blended materials that need moderate heat to remove wrinkles without scorching.
Recommended Action
Set your iron to the medium temperature setting, typically labeled as the silk, wool, or polyester setting. For wool and silk, use a pressing cloth or iron on the reverse side to prevent shine marks. Light steam can often be used at this setting but check the garment label for any steam restrictions.
What to Avoid
- ✗Do not exceed the medium heat setting for these fabrics
- ✗Avoid ironing silk when it is completely dry as it may scorch
- ✗Do not use heavy pressure on wool as it can flatten the texture
