Excellent Performance: The wool ironing mat is designed to absorb heat and steam effectively, allowing the heat and steam to penetrate your fabric. This eliminates the need to turn the material around or use additional steam, as you can iron both sides simultaneously. Notes: 1. Avoid leaving your iron on the wool mat for extended periods. For optimal results, set your iron to WOOL or MEDIUM HEAT. 2. Always place the mat on a water-resistant surface. As wool is porous, a small amount of moisture may pass through the mat with prolonged use of steam during ironing. Care Instructions: 1. To clean, simply rinse the mat in the sink or bathtub and hang it up to dry. 2. Do not machine wash. When the mat is wet, simply hang it to dry. 3. Avoid twisting, bending, folding, or rolling the mat. Store it flat whenever possible. 4. Never store the mat when damp or wet. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
