First we had to find 20 facts out of all our research:
- Heat and water cause clothes to wrinkle
- Cotton is the worst fabric to crease
- 'Wash & wear' is a finish to stop fabrics creasing
- Ironing services charge between £1-5 per item on average
- Alternate folding when packing clothes is the best way to avoid creasing
- Steaming clothing/ placing in a hot room can remove light creases
- Natural fibre clothing is the worst from creasing
- (out of 19 people) 73.7% dont care if their clothes crease whilst travelling
- 31.6% of these people would re-iron their clothes if they got creased
- 68.4% of people use a holdall when travelling with clothes
-84.2% of these neatly fold there clothes when packing
- Wrinkle free clothing can be bought
- Cotton needs to be ironed at a high temperature to get rid of creases
- packing a light load of clothes will decrease creasing
- wool doesn't wrinkle
- friction within a bag causes clothes to wrinkle
- 68% iron there clothes in the first place
- the annual salary of a dry cleaner & press worker is 19,540
- put heavy objects to the bottom or side of your bag
- creases are formed by bonds in the fabric making new bonds and changing shape
