A clothes iron is a household appliance used to remove wrinkles from fabric by applying heat + pressure (and sometimes steam).
π₯ Types of clothes irons
1) Dry iron
- No steam, just heat
- Simple and lightweight
- Good for basic cotton and daily use
2) Steam iron (most common)
- Releases steam to soften fabric wrinkles
- Works better on thicker clothes (jeans, shirts)
- Faster and smoother results
3) Steam generator iron (advanced)
- Separate water tank with strong continuous steam
- Professional-level ironing
- Expensive but very efficient
π§ How it works
Heat from the soleplate relaxes fabric fibers, and pressure flattens them so wrinkles disappear. Steam helps loosen stubborn creases.
