What is "ironing"?

Ironing is a process that involves the use of a heated flat surface, known as an iron, to remove wrinkles and creases from clothing or other textiles. It is usually done after washing and drying clothes and can help to give them a crisp, polished appearance. Ironing can be done using various techniques and can also involve the use of steam, starch, or other products to help smooth out the fabric. While ironing is a common household chore, it is also an important part of the textile industry, where it is used to finish garments before they are sold.
