2. Iron - Basics

An Iron is a heated tool that is used to remove wrinkles from clothes. It is called Iron because the first tools were made from iron. Nowadays Irons are made of stainless steel or aluminium. The heating element in modern Irons is controlled by a thermostat which switches the current on and off to maintain the selected temperature.

3. Window to the Past

In the 1st Century BC metal pans filled with charcoal were used for smoothing fabrics in China. In the 17th century solid irons used to be heated in fire. Later an iron box filled with hot coals starting to be more and more popular.

In the late 19th century were many irons which were heated by fuel as kerosene, alcohol, whale oil, natural gas or gasoline.

Nowadays we count with electric irons which uses resistive heating from an electric current. The hot plate is made of aluminium and it can be control by a thermostat. This electric iron creation was made by the New Yorker Henry W. Seeley in 1882. The early electric irons had no easy way to control their temperature.

4. Recent developments

The following list shows the moder developments of today’s Irons:

Burst of Steam: Available almost on most new Irons. By pushing a button the steam comes out to tame wrinkels.

Indicator Light: Which shows if the power is on or off, others also show if the Iron have reached the maximum desire heat.

Temperature control marked and easily accessible, preferably on the front of the handle.

Automatic shutoff: For security reasons the Iron will automatically shutoff if it doesn’t feel any movement

Water reservoirs: By pushing a button a water will be sprayed on the clothes for easier ironing.

Transparent chambers, some brightly colored, make it easy to see the water level.

Self-cleaning feature to flush deposits from vents.

Retractable cord: To make the ironing easier.
