Question

The process to remove unwanted creases in garment after laundry is

• A. Folding
• B. Molding
• C. Fusing
• D. Pressing

Hint:

• Unwanted creases often form in garments during laundering.
• Pressing} (or Ironing}) is the application of heat and pressure, often with steam, to remove these creases and restore a smooth appearance.
• Folding is for storage. Molding is for shaping components. Fusing is for attaching interlinings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

After laundry (washing and drying), garments, especially those made from natural fibers like cotton or linen, often develop unwanted creases and wrinkles. The process used to remove these creases and restore a smooth, neat appearance to the garment is commonly known as pressing or ironing. Let's analyze the options:

• (a) Folding: Folding is the process of neatly arranging a garment into a compact shape for storage or packing. It does not remove creases; improper folding can even create them.
• (b) Molding: Molding, in a garment context, refers to shaping fabric into a three-dimensional form, often with heat and pressure (e.g., for bra cups). It's not for removing laundry creases.
• (c) Fusing: Fusing is the process of attaching interlining to fabric pieces using heat and pressure during garment construction. It's not a post-laundry care process for removing wrinkles.
• (d) Pressing (Ironing): Pressing involves applying heat and pressure (and often steam) to a fabric or garment to remove wrinkles and creases, and to impart a smooth, flat finish. This is the standard method for removing unwanted creases after laundry. Ironing is a common form of pressing done domestically. Industrial pressing uses specialized presses.

Therefore, the process to remove unwanted creases in a garment after laundry is Pressing (or ironing). \[ \boxed{\text{Pressing}} \]
