Is it safe to iron wet fabric?

Question

Thank you!

Answer 1

Yes, you can iron wet fabric.  Wetting a stubborn wrinkle and then ironing over it is the best way to get rid of it.

Be careful, if the water doesn't completly evaporate, the fabric, or rather the water, will be very hot.

Answer 2

NO!!!

Answer 3

Yep, I do all the time.

I wouldn't stick the iron in a tub of water or anything but wet fabric is fine.  :)

Answer 4

Yes you can but not too wet. Careful with light colors, they might turn yellowish.        

Answer 5

Yes, but if the fabric is wool or cotton you may shrink it.

Answer 6

~~Not soaking wet clothes, you will have a mess and your iron can get them dry enough. If you are talking damp, then it will iron fine. Very important to use the correct setting for the material though, too hot and you'll scorch them!~~
