Ironing vs. Steam Pressing: What Your Office Wear Needs

✍️ By Arosh 2025-12-12

You have a big meeting on Monday. You pull out your favorite shirt, spend 15 minutes ironing it, but by lunchtime, it looks wrinkled again. Why?

It’s not you—it’s your iron.

There is a massive difference between Home Ironing and Professional Steam Pressing. Here is why your office wear lasts longer with Sorted.lk.

1. Crushing vs. Relaxing

A standard home iron uses a hot metal plate to crush the fibers flat. Over time, this makes the fabric shiny and brittle (especially trousers).

Steam Pressing (what we do) uses high-pressure steam to relax the fibers into place. It removes wrinkles without damaging the thread.

2. The “Sharp Edge” Factor

Getting that perfect, razor-sharp crease on a sleeve or trouser leg is almost impossible on a standard ironing board. Our industrial vacuum tables hold the fabric in place while we press, locking in the crease for days, not hours.

3. Time is Money

The average person spends 3 hours a week ironing work clothes. That is 12 hours a month.

For just Rs. 90 a piece, is it really worth burning your Sunday evening?
