Who invented the steam iron?
irons are device useds for garment pressing, irons have been heated directly by gas flame, stove plate heat, or in the case of the modern iron by electricity. Henry W Seely patented the electric.On June 6, 1882, Henry W. Seely of NYC patented the electric iron, at the time it was called the electric flatiron. Early electric irons used a carbon arc to create heat, however, this was not a safe method. In 1892, hand irons using electrical resistance were introduced by Crompton and Co. and the General Electric Company. During the early 1950s electric steam irons were introduced.ron in 1882. i have written this info mainly to help people with this question i hope it answers your question your are looking for. Flat irons were developed in the 16th century, when fabrics were developed that required ironing. The original flat irons were heated on a stove - you had a handle that clamped on to the sole plate (there were several of them - they stayed on the stove until needed) and you ironed until that sole plate cooled down, then put it back on the stove and let it.heat up again. The next 'improvement' was the charcoal iron - you could fill the body of the iron with pieces of burning charcoal and this would keep the iron hot. Then came the kerosene iron, which was something like a kerosene lamp, but they were never very popular because they tended to dribble kerosene on the laundry - not a very desirable thing. And then, at last, came the electric iron, with the steam iron feature. And then, halleleujah! Along came no-iron fabrics and electric clothes dryers that eliminated the need for irons. I still have one, sitting in the basement gathering dust somewhere. Many people use them for doorstops nowadays.

How to Get The Best Ironing Results Using Electric Irons?
Ironing is quite a tough job, but was made easy with the advent of electric irons. Contrary to traditional irons, you need not prepare hot charcoal to feed to your iron container, in order to even out the wrinkles of your clothing. The possibility of getting burned from the charcoal is reduced, and you get to save time when ironing as well. Although ironing appears to be a relatively easy task, not all irons achieve the best results when they do it. Here are some tips on how to get the best ironing results using an electric iron: • Segregate the clothes which need to be ironed first. This can be achieved by looking at the tags attached to the fabric, so you know which materials they are made of. This is also important, as different materials require varying degrees of heat. By separating each type, you can eliminate the delay through switching from one ironing setting to another. Burning your clothes will also be prevented if proper the setting for each article of clothing is used. • Place water in the electric iron's water reservoir, as this helps minimize mineral build-up on both the electric iron and the clothing. Additionally, plant sprigs such as lavender enhance the odor of your clothes. Add the sprigs to the water before you start ironing. • Plug the iron in with the appropriate setting. Let is stand and wait until heats up. Most models these days have lighting systems, which signal if the unit has reached the right temperature.It is best that you start with the coolest settings first and end with the hottest. This is because it is easier to wait for the iron to heat up rather than cool down. • For efficient ironing, place aluminum foil on the board as it tries to heat up both sides of the clothes. In this manner, you need not turn the cloth around to iron it on the opposite side. You save time as well as electricity. • To increase crispness of your clothing, you can spray starch solution over the surface. You can make this by dissolving a tablespoon of starch with two cups of water. Spread the solution on the spot before you iron it. • When ironing, do not let the electric iron stay on one spot. Continuously move it to prevent burning.Spray water on stubborn spots to remove the wrinkles. • Always move the fabric on the right spot, so you need not go over the previous spot because they got wrinkled again. • Finally, hang your ironed clothes to maintain the crispness of the material. Electric irons do help a lot in smoothing wrinkles on fabrics. With the right setting for each fabric, the presentable look you are aiming for is easily achieved with iron clothes.
