Many small irons come with adjustable temperature controls, allowing you to select the appropriate heat setting for different types of fabrics. This helps prevent damage to delicate fabrics and ensures effective wrinkle removal.

The soleplate (the flat, heated surface of the iron) is often coated with a non-stick material. This prevents the iron from sticking to fabrics and ensures smooth gliding during ironing.

While primarily designed for clothing, these irons can also be used for other fabric-related tasks, such as ironing curtains, tablecloths, and linens.
