Richpower Dry Iron

The product you’re referring to is a clothes iron, also sometimes called a flat iron, smoothing iron, or steam iron. It’s a handheld appliance used to remove wrinkles and creases from garments.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Heating element: This is usually located in the flat, metal soleplate at the bottom of the iron. When plugged in and turned on, the element heats up to a specific temperature, depending on the fabric type.
• Temperature control: Most modern irons have a knob or dial that allows you to adjust the heat setting for different fabrics. Delicate materials like silk require a lower temperature than sturdier fabrics like cotton.
• Soleplate: This is the smooth, flat surface that glides over the clothing. Traditionally made of metal, some irons now have ceramic or non-stick-coated soleplates for smoother gliding and a reduced risk of scorching fabrics.
• Handle: The handle allows you to comfortably grip and guide the iron over your clothes. It’s usually made of heat-resistant plastic.
• Water tank (steam iron): Some irons have a built-in water tank that allows you to use steam while ironing. Steam helps relax wrinkles more effectively, especially stubborn ones.
• Spray function (optional): This feature allows you to mist a light spray of water onto the fabric before ironing. This can help dampened fabrics smooth out more easily.
• Thermostat (automatic shut-off): This safety feature automatically turns off the iron if it’s left inactive for a certain period, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards.
