A long time ago in Russia they ironed like this: they took a special rolling pin, tightly wound linen, towels or clothes over it, and then rolled it on top with a corrugated rectangular board. Then wood was replaced by heavy cast-iron irons that run on coal.
Fortunately, progress has stepped far from those harsh times, but things have not yet learned to iron themselves. Therefore, the choice of iron is still an important issue. Irons rating 2016 will tell you which iron is better to choose. The review is based on feedback from users of the Yandex.Market website.
