So, you’ve got yourself a Supima cotton T-shirt or shirt—good choice! It’s soft, strong, and feels like a hug on your skin. But when it comes out of the wash a little wrinkled, you might be thinking: “Can I iron this? And if yes, how do I do it without ruining the fabric?”
Don’t worry—ironing Supima cotton is easy. It just takes a little care (and the right temperature). Let’s walk through it.
Step 1: Check the Label (It’s There for a Reason)
Before you heat up the iron, take a quick look at the care label. Most Supima cotton pieces will say “warm iron” or “low to medium heat.” Just avoid high heat—that’s the main thing.
Step 2: Iron While Slightly Damp (Pro Tip!)
Supima cotton irons best when it’s still a little damp. So if you pull it out of the dryer early or mist it with a spray bottle, you’ll get better results with less effort. The steam helps relax the fibers and smooth out wrinkles quickly.
Step 3: Use the Right Temperature
Set your iron to cotton or medium heat—that’s usually the sweet spot. If your iron has a steam function, turn it on. Steam works wonders on Supima!
If you’re not using steam, just lightly spray the fabric with water as you go.
Step 4: Iron Inside Out (Especially for Dark Colors)
Want to avoid shine marks or preserve color? Flip your shirt inside out before ironing. This helps protect the surface of the fabric and keeps it looking fresh and rich, especially with dark shades.
Step 5: Glide, Don’t Press
Supima cotton is strong, but it doesn’t need to be bullied. Just gently glide the iron across the fabric—no need to press hard. Let the steam and heat do the job.
Bonus Tip: Hang It Up Right Away
Once you’ve ironed it, hang your Supima cotton piece immediately. That way, it stays crisp and smooth until you’re ready to wear it.
