When the iron heats up, water from the reservoir turns into steam, which penetrates fabric fibers, relaxing them and making them easier to iron. The result is wrinkle-free clothes without harsh pressing, even on tougher materials like denim and linen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3
