Now that most of us are back to working from home you probably bother less whether your clothes are neatly ironed. We get that, but apart from professional appearance, ironing brings a lot more benefits you may be overlooking.

Killing Bacteria and Germs

Ironing is the best natural germ killer on fabrics. The high temperature eliminates bacteria, its spores, dust mites and common allergens. In times of a global pandemic, an extra layer of harmless protection for your health is always welcome.

Making Your Clothes Feel Better

Ironing your clothes brings out the softness of most fabrics. Ironed clothes feel more comfortable and pleasant to your body. Shirts have that silky touch after being pressed and winter sweaters become ever so cosy.

Fixing Shrinkage

Mistakes do happen in the washing machine. And although not all of them are fixable, some shrinkage disasters could be rectified with a good old iron and the right technique.

Eliminating Bad Smells

There’s nothing more disappointing than freshly washed clothes that smell disgusting. The reasons for bad odours on fabrics can be many. Sometimes it's due to your drying method - drying clothes indoors or placing them on radiators is not a good idea. Other times, bad smells are simply due to overuse of detergent. Weird, but true! Luckily, ironing could fix that most of the time. Your clothes are not just smooth and soft, but also smell fresh.

Better Sleep

If you have your bed linen ironed you are in for a treat. First of all, your bed sheets are naturally disinfected. Second, they have this smooth and relaxing touch to your skin. Last but not least, the steam from ironing purifies the fabric, which helps people (especially those prone to allergies) breather easier when in bed. Ultimately, that improves the quality of your sleep!

A Good-looking Shirt is Still a Necessity

Although most corporate positions are now based at home, some Zoom meetings still require professional attire. You may be wearing your sweatpants below the desk, but you will need a crisp, freshly ironed shirt to charm the camera and those watching on the other side.

Outsourcing Saves Time

Staying at home doesn’t lighten up the schedule much. Most of us still have a very challenging and busy lifestyle. Household chores often get pushed down on the list of priority and ironing doesn’t even make the list sometimes. Given all the health and feel-good benefits it brings, we firmly believe there has to be a way to get it done. The best solution is outsourcing.
