How do I avoid creating shiny patches when ironing black clothes?

When I iron black Ts or pants with a bit of stretch in them I often end up with shiny patches. The label usually says 'cool iron' but I find that if the iron is that low it doesn't actually get rid of creases - then when I turn it up I get the shiny patches. Any suggestions?How do I avoid creating shiny patches when ironing black clothes?
This is a common issue. I just place a thin cloth (like an old scarf or even a pillow case) over the black clothes to avoid placing the iron directly on the fabric. That way, I can iron at a decent heat setting and even use a little steam if necessary - and no weird shiny patches. It works like a charm every time!How do I avoid creating shiny patches when ironing black clothes?
The earlier answers are all sensible advice but no-one has advised you to stop moving the iron over the cloth.





I haven't used an iron for ages. My old aunt used to say hang it on the washing line carefully and the heat of your body will take care of the the rest.





You save electricity that way, too.





Bring back the grunge look!
There are clothings like that so you must handle it with care. If its not too much of a hassle, used fabric conditioner. So that when you iron clothes you don't need tp put your iron on a high temperature. High temperature will damaged the clothing.
Use a pressing cloth like this:


Find a very thin, plain tea towel, or a large man's handkerchief (the best).


Wet it and wring every drop of moisture out - flatten it and place it over the area to iron. It works every time.


Keep the cloth for this purpose only.





Good luck.
ALL SUGGESTIONS GOOD. Just lay a linen tea towel over when ironing, high heat and steam not a problem. The worthy wear white, black is not Godly. Sorry pastors read your bibles.
This happened to my son on his first attempt at ironing his Cadet uniform. We use a damp tea towel placed over the item and then iron. Still produces steam to help get the wrinkles out without leaving shiny marks.
if the surface if the iron is 2 dry, the heat will create the shiny patches. every 30 seconds wipe the iron with a cool damp rag. Holla.
keep your iron on as low as possible and just keep increasing the heat until it works.





and dont iron in one spot so much.





cp
Few things...put in dryer and remove and hang ASAP...wont need to iron.


Don't turn it all the way up.


Iron with a towel over shirt.


Steam instead of iron
The iron cannot be too hot.





Remove clothes promptly from the dryer so they don't get major wrinkles in the first place.
put a newspaper or paper towels over it and then iron the clothes
Iron it inside out, or use a pressing cloth to avoid creating shine.
YEA always turn your clothes inside out to iron dark clothing.
I love black but hate to iron. I bought a steamer. It saves so much time and your shiny problems are over.
Use a pressing cloth on a light setting. Good luck.
Maybe,you should use a little more water?or ironing the clothese more quickly.
turn you black clothes inside out first.
