prevent this, use a dry pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and
iron the reverse side.

- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one
direction only (along with the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
