To remove stubborn creases from pure silk and crinkle dupattas on Kapra.pk safely, steam vertically or place a damp cotton press cloth between the iron and silk. Set iron heat strictly to low silk setting, ironing inside-out without holding steam in one spot.
Silk fibers and delicate bamber crinkles burn or develop irreversible glossy shine marks under direct hot iron plates. Employing a barrier cloth and gentle steam releases wrinkles while preserving delicate texture.

Recommended Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Lay Garment on Padded Ironing Board
Always place the silk dupatta with wrong side facing up on a clean, plush towel or padded board cover to cushion surface embroidery.
2. Position Clean Cotton Press Cloth
Cover the section with a damp white cotton handkerchief or mulmul cloth. The moisture converts iron heat into safe, wrinkle-relaxing steam.
3. Press in Swift Gliding Motions
Glide the iron swiftly without applying stationary pressure. Hang immediately to let silk fibers cool down and retain crisp draping.
