How to choose the right Irons and Ironing Boards

• Assess your laundry volume and decide between standard steam irons for lighter use or rotary ironers for high-throughput finishing of flatwork.
• Consider available space in your laundry or housekeeping room, allowing for safe operator movement around rotary ironers and ironing boards.
• Match temperature and steam control to the fabrics you process most often, from delicate garments to heavy cotton linens.
• Look for ergonomic features such as adjustable ironing board height, easy-access controls and comfortable working positions for staff.
• Review power requirements and energy efficiency, ensuring your electrical supply can support professional rotary ironers or steam systems.
• Choose reputable brands with proven reliability and service support to minimise downtime in busy operations.

Care and maintenance

• Empty and descale steam irons and professional steam systems regularly to prevent limescale build-up and maintain steam performance.
• Wipe ironing surfaces and rollers after use, ensuring they are cool, and avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage coatings.
• Inspect power cables, plugs and foot pedals frequently, removing any units from service if damage or overheating is detected.
• Check ironing board frames, hinges and height mechanisms for wear, tightening fixings and replacing worn covers or pads as needed.
• Keep rotary ironer intake and exhaust areas clear of lint and dust, and follow manufacturer schedules for lubrication and servicing.
• Store irons upright on heat-resistant surfaces and fold ironing boards securely to prevent accidental falls or damage.
