Iron Boxes Description and Price in Kenya

Ironing is the use of a heated tool (an iron) to remove wrinkles from clothes. The temperature needed for this is usually around 180-220oC depending on the type of cloth. Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer molecules in the fibres of the cloth. The fibres are straightened by the weight of the iron while the molecules are hot, and they hold their new shape as they cool. Some fabrics, like cotton, require the addition of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds.
The basic principle on which the electric iron works is that when a current is passed through a piece of wire, the wire heats up. This heat is distributed to the sole (base) plate of the electric iron through conduction.

Types of Iron Boxes

Basic dry model: It is one of the most inexpensive varieties available in most of the online and offline stores at attractive price rates. This basic model includes a temperature dial to control the temperature and a metal sole plate. The base model equipment is quite heavy and seldom includes additional features. As it does not include steam features, spray bottles need to be used to achieve the desired results to press clothes.

Steam models: Most of the iron boxes include steam models. These model equipments include small tanks which are filled with water. This water is converted into steam while the clothes are pressed. Some of the most common features include a burst of steam which can be sprayed onto the clothes. The steam is sprayed through a small outlet present in the equipment. The amount of steam to be spayed can be controlled according to the type of clothes to be pressed. Cotton clothes require higher steam to reduce wrinkles. There are steam control switches that can be altered according to the type of fabric.

Vertical steam model: The vertical steam iron box is among the latest versions of electrical equipments. It can steam both horizontally and vertically unlike the ordinary steam equipments. Steaming is one of the easiest and fastest methods of reducing wrinkles. Though the equipment is a bit expensive, it is well worth the price due to its advanced steaming features.

Deluxe model: Apart from the equipments mentioned above, there are superior quality equipments available in most of the online and offline stores at various price rates. Some of the most advanced features of these equipments include auto shut off features, superior steam features, retractable cord, quick temperature control features and so forth.
