Wet clothes iron better because water helps to transfer heat more efficiently to the fabric, making it easier to remove wrinkles. The steam produced from the water also helps to relax the fibers in the fabric, allowing for a smoother finish when ironing.

Why can't you iron wet clothes?

An Iron works by heating the fibres of the cloth to above 100 degrees Celsius. As water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, it is impossible to get the fibres of the cloth to above 100 degrees Celsius when they are wet and therefore wet clothes can not be ironed effectively. You may note that some Irons use steam. In this case the steam is above 100 degrees Celsius and the sole plate of the iron is even hotter. The steam aids the ironing process by 1) taking the heat into the fibres and 2) softening the fibres so that they can be flattened more easily.


Is drying wet clothes a physical change?
