Iron is the use of heated tools (iron) to remove wrinkles from the fabric. This heating is generally carried out at temperatures of 180-220 ° Celsius, depending on the fabric. The iron works by loosening the bond between long chain polymer molecules in the material fibers. While the molecules are hot, the fiber is straightened by the weight of iron, and they hold their new shape as they cool. Some fabrics, such as cotton, require the addition of water to loosen intermolecular bonds. Many modern fabrics (developed in or after the mid-twentieth century) are advertised as requiring little or no ironing. The permanent press outfit was developed to reduce the necessary ironing by combining polyester resistant wrinkle with cotton.
The use of the first known hot metal in "iron" clothing is known to have occurred in China. The electric iron was discovered in 1882, by Henry W. Seeley. Seeley patented his "electric flatiron" on June 6, 1882 (US Patent No. 259,054).

Tools
Iron
Iron is a small tool used to remove wrinkles from the fabric. It is also known as iron clothing, flat iron, or smoothing iron. The piece at the bottom is called a single plate. Ironing uses heat energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, and mechanical energy.
Iron board
Most ironing is done on an ironing board, small table, portable, and can be folded with a heat resistant surface. Some commercial level boards incorporate pedestal-operated heating and vacuum elements to draw air through the board and dry the garment.
On February 15, 1858 W. Vandenburg and J. Harvey patented an ironing board that facilitated the sleeves and legs of the pants. The truly portable folding ironing board was first patented in Canada in 1875 by John B. Porter. The invention also includes a removable press board used for the arm. In 1892 Sarah Boone obtained a patent in the United States for repair on an ironing board, allowing better quality ironing for the sleeve.

Tailor's ham
The tailor's meat or ham garment maker is a very dense pillow that is shaped like a ham used as a mold when pressing the curves of the body like an arm or collar.
Commercial equipment
Commercial dry cleaning and full laundry service providers typically use a large tool called a steam press to do most of the ironing work of clothes. Alternatively, a rotary iron may be used.
Historically, larger tailor shops include tailor stoves, stoves used by tailors to heat some iron quickly and efficiently. In many developing countries a cluster of solid iron, heated alternately from a single heating source, is used to compress the fabric at small commercial outlets.

Chemistry
When the fabric is heated, the molecule is easier to reorient. In the case of cotton fibers, which are derivatives of cellulose, the hydroxyl group that binds the cellulosic polymer chain cross is reformed at high temperatures, and becomes somewhat "locked in place" after cooling the item. In permanently pressed press clothing, chemical agents such as dimethylol ethylene urea are added as crosslinking agents.
