An "iron box," often referred to simply as an "iron," is a household appliance used for pressing and smoothing wrinkles out of fabric. It's an essential tool for maintaining neat and presentable clothing, linens, and other textiles.
Modern irons often include safety features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms that turn off the iron if it is left unattended for a certain period of time. This helps prevent accidents and reduces the risk of fire or damage to clothing. Indicator lights on the iron may signal when the iron is heating up, when it has reached the selected temperature, or when the water reservoir needs to be refilled. Some irons have a self-cleaning function that helps to remove mineral deposits and impurities from the steam vents and soleplate, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
